• Type: "Specimens examined: SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Mt. Lofty, 21.vi.1924, J.B. Cleland (AD 5438 (=ADW 12672)); Mt. Lofty, 7.iv.1917, on ground under log, J.B. Cleland (AD 5436 (=ADW 12670)); Mt. Lofty, 7.iv.1917, J.B. Cleland (AD 5437 (=ADW 12668)); lectotype here designated, Mt. Lofty, 2.vi.1928, J.B. Cleland (AD 5444 (=ADW 12669)). Upper Tunkalilla Creek, subcaespitose on ground, 4.vi.1930, J.B. Cleland (AD 5446 (=ADW 12667)), determination questionable."

• Text: "Notes: Horak (1980) cited ADW 12668 (=AD 5437) as the holotype, however, this cannot be the case given that Cleland’s protologue was clearly derived from notes of ADW 12672 (=AD 5438). Hence, AD 5438 would be the proper collection to designate as the lectotype if not for its heterogeneous state, which contains both Inocybe and Cortinarius species. Even with the numerous Cortinarius basidiomes aside, it is not clear from the protologue that Cleland derived the macroscopic description from the Inocybe portion of the collection. Furthermore, the shape of the spores, a critical character in Inocybe taxonomy, varies among the remaining specimens."
