The typification of the genus Omphalina Quél, is discussed. There is conclusive evidence to prove that the type should be Omphalina umbellifera (L. ex Fr.) Quél. = O. ericetorum (Fr. ex Fr.) M. Lange and not a species now referred to as O. pseudoandrosacea (Bull, ex St.–Amans) Mos. = O. grisella (Weinm.) Mos. A neotype for O. ericetorum is selected. The recent classifications of Omphalina and related genera are not convincing, and a rearrangement of Gerronema, Phaeotellus, Ric–kenella , and Haasiella inside genus Omphalina is proposed. A series of corresponding new combinations are made or validated.
