Amphilogia is a genus of fungi within the family Cryphonectriaceae. It was established in 2005.^[1] The fungi cause orange cankers on branches of Elaeocarpus trees in Sri Lanka and New Zealand.^[1]^[2]^[3] While the type species of this genus ( Amphilogia gyrosa ) has been confused with the type species of Endothia ( Endothia gyrosa ), these fungi are distinct and both are accepted names.^[1]^[3]^[4]

The name, amphilogia, is derived from the Greek amphi (both sides) + logo (discussion), referring to taxonomic disputes around the genus.^[1]
