Lentinus xylopodius Lév. Ann. Sci. Nat. III. 5: 119. 1846. Described from Guadeloupe 
and transferred to Panus by Fries in 1851. Pileus convex, pale-yellow, subtomentose; lamellae 
decurrent, distant; stipe lateral, woody, glabrous. Apparently a distorted form of L. hirtus. 
Panus connatus Berk. Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. II. 9: 194. 1852. Found on rotten wood in 
Santo Domingo and described as cespitose-connate, glabrous, 5 cm. broad; lamellae decurrent, 
broad, entire; stipe tomentose, 2~5 cm. long. 
Panus Troglodytes Fries, N ova Acta Soc. Sci. Upsal. IIT. 1: 227. 1851. Found on trunks 
in the island of St. Thomas. Apparently near L. crinitus. 
Pocillaria reflexa Earle, Inf. An. Estac. Centr. Agron. Cuba 1: 231. 1906. Type 
collected in Cuba by Earle and Wilson in 1904. A small, inftndibuliform plant with very 
narrow gills, evidently closely related to L. crinitus; but authentic material has not been seen.
