 Molecular analysis of several "Aurantiporus" species suggests that the genus is not monophyletic, but some other related polypore species need to be sequenced and studied before appropriate taxonomic changes can be made.In 2018, Viktor Papp and Bálint Dima proposed a new genus "Odoria" to contain "Aurantiporus alborubescens" based on multigene phylogenetic analyses.The generic name is derived from the Latin "aurantius" ("orange") and the Ancient Greek (pore).
