Karstenia is a genus of fungi in the order Rhytismatales. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the order is unknown (incertae sedis), and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any family.[2]
The genus name of Karstenia is in honour of Petter Adolf Karsten (1834–1917), who was a Finnish born mycologist.[3]
The genus was circumscribed by Elias Magnus Fries in Acta Soc. Fauna Fl. Fenn. vol.2 (issue 6) on page 166 in 1885.
