May 1903 ] Review of Genera of Polyporaceae 95 
upon L. lepideus (Fr.) and ten other species. A synonym of 
Polyporellus Karst, established in 1879. 
75. Pelloporus Quel. Ench. 166. 1886. — Founded on 
P. triqueter (Fr.) and six other species. Synonymous with 
Inonotus Karst., established in 1879. 
76. Cerioporus Quel. Ench. 167. 1886. — Founded on 
C. caudicinus (Scop.) [P. squamosus (Huds.)] and five other 
species. A synonym of Polyporus. 
77. Cladomeris Quel. Ench. 167. 1886. — Founded on 
C. ramosissima (Scop.) [Cl. umbellata (Fr.)] and sixteen

derma Karst, established in 1881. 
79. Phellinus Quel. Ench. 172. 1886. — Based on P. 
igniarius (L.) and three other species. Since this name is pre¬ 
occupied by Phelline, assigned in 1826 to a genus of the Ebenaceae, 
I proposed the name Pyropolyporus for the present genus, referr¬ 
ing to the ancient use of P. igniarius and closely allied members of 
the genus for the purpose of keeping fire. See Torrey Bulletin, 
30:109. 1903. 
80. Inodermus Quel. Ench. 173. 1886. — Based on In.

applied to a genus of Algae. Compare also Inoderma Karst. 1879.
