Xylodon rickii (Hjortstam & Ryvarden) K.H. Larss. comb. nov.

Basionym.

Hypochnicium rickii Hjortstam & Ryvarden, Mycotaxon 15: 271. 1982. ≡ Odontia polycystidifera Rick, Iheringia, Sér. Bot. 5: 163. 1959. Nom. inval. (Code Art. 40.1).

Type.

Brazil. S. Salvador, 5 Apr 1944, Rick 20847 (holotype PACA, by original designation).

For a description, see Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1982). Gorjón (2012) could not verify the presence of large capitate cystidia, similar to those present in X. magnifica and included in the original description by Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1982). We restudied the isotype in herbarium O and can confirm that these large cystidia do exist, which supports a possible position of this species close to X. detriticus and X. pruinosus .
