Description
Summary:1. The present paper is the first of a series intended to deal from a nomenclatural point of view with all the generic names proposed for Hymenomycetes. For each name the following items are considered: (i) its etymology and gender, (ii) the original scope of the corresponding genus, and, in case of the name being- an isonym,<br />also of the group covered by its basinym; (iii) the type species, which when not originally designated, is selected; (iv) its basinym, synisonyms, homonyms, typonyms,and variant spellings, if any, are indicated; (v) its status under the Rules is determined;<br />and (vi) supplementary remarks are given when these are deemed useful.<br />2. This first instalment deals with "Cyphellaceae," a group defined in a con-<br />ventional, rather descriptive, manner, not as a taxonomic unit.<br />3. A new generic name, Stromatoscypha Donk, is introduced for Porothelium<br />(Pr. ex Fr.) Fr.<br />4. The following new combinations are made: Aleurodiscus digitalis (A. &amp; S.ex Fr.) Donk [basinym: Cyphella digitalis (A. &amp; S.) ex Fr.], and Stromatoscyphafimbriata (Pers. ex Fr.) Donk [basinym: Polyporus fimbriatus (Pers.) ex Fr.].
