Abstract

Leratiomyces was not validly published in 1998; rather it was in fact unintentionally validated in 2008 as a nomen novum for Le-Ratia. The history of these names is detailed and linked to “Le Ratia”, which is not a validly published name. Le-Ratia, which is validly published, but illegitimate, is lectotypified, thereby typifying Leratiomyces; the new combination Leratiomyces similis is proposed for its type.
