The bolete was first described scientifically by French mycologist Jean Louis Émile Boudier in 1902.[7] It was transferred to the new genus Rubroboletus in 2014 along with several other allied reddish colored, blue-staining bolete species.[8] Phylogenetically, R. dupainii is the sister species of Rubroboletus lupinus.[9]
