  • A. aurantiaca ( (Lavrova and Preobrazhenskaya 1975) Zhang 'et al.'. 2001, ; New Latin feminine gender adjective aurantiaca, orange-coloured, referring to the gold-colored substrate mycelium.), was formerly known as Actinomadura aurantiaca[3]
  • A. aurea ( Tamura 'et al.'. 2007, ; Latin feminine gender adjective aurea, golden.), formerly known as "Sarraceniospora aurea"[4]
