• Text: "Cortinarius umbonatus Cleland & J.R.Harris (1948) (published as 'Cortinarius (Dermocybe) umbonatus') is an illegitimate name (ICBN, Art. 53.1) Being a later homonym of Cortinarius umbonatus (Velen.) Rob. Henry, 1947 [1946]. Grgurinovic (1997) lectotypified that taxon, based on coll. AD 4353, and recombined it into Dermocybe. In accordance with ICBN, Art. 58.1 the correct name in Dermocybe must be Dermocybe umbonata Grgurinovic 1997."
