The genus was circumscribed by Rudolf Mathias Schuster in Nova Hedwigia vol.36 on pages 10 and 15 in 1982.
The genus name of Sandeothallus is in honour of Cornelius Marinus van der Sande Lacoste (1815–1887), who was a Dutch physician, botanist (Bryology). He practised medicine in 1843 in Amsterdam.[5]
