Septobasidium arachnoideum (Berk. & Broome) Bres., Ann. Mycol. 14 (3-4): 241 (1916)

Homotypic names.

Thelephora arachnoidea Berk. & Broome, J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 14: 64 (1873) [1875]. Hypochnus arachnoideus (Berk. & Broome) Bres., Ann. Mycol. 1(2): 108 (1903). Tomentella arachnoidea (Berk. & Broome) Höhn. & Litsch., Wiesner Festschrift: 77 (1908).

Type.

CEYLON [Nowadays Sri Lanka]. Habgalla, Feb. 1868, [M. J. Berkeley and C. E. Broome] No. 539 (K).

Remarks.

Bresadola (1916) combined Thelephora arachnoidea Berk. & Broome to Septobasidium , and the species was accepted by Couch (1938) in his detailed review of the genus. We thus have no reason to believe that this species belongs in Pseudotomentella .
