Type. Australia. Tasmania: Hobart, Rodway (BPI 302037). Discussion. Cunningham (1965) considered P. atromaculus to be a synonym of S. nivea (or Tyromyces chioneus , as he called it). The name refers to Tasmanian collections of L. Rodway. Lloyd (1922) used the name P. atromaculatus in reporting his determinations to Rodway. Referencing Lloyd (1922) , Stevenson and Cash (1936) published Polyporus atromaculus Lloyd in herb. accompanied by a description and specification of a type specimen in a list of fungus names proposed by Lloyd. It is doubtful whether their intention was to validate the name but the description remains invalid (ICBN Melbourne Art. 39.1) and we reject the name. Ryvarden (1990) appears to share this view as he does not include P. atromaculus in his type studies of Polyporus species described by Lloyd.
