Abstract

Various nomenclatural aspects pertaining to author citations, orthography and the validity of names in the genus Calvatia, and, in one instance, Bovista, are discussed. The name Calbovista subsculpta var. fumosa is validated and the biogeographic status of Calvatia gigantea in southern Africa is discussed. The name Calvatiella lioui is lectotypified.
