Summary Studies on type specimens show that the following nomenclatural changes are necessary: A. divergescens Nyl. (= A. acanihodes Hue), A. jubata (L.) Ach. (= A. prolixa sensu Mot.). The identities of A. fusconitida Lamb ex Mot. nom. nud., A. pacifica Stizenb., and Bryopogon hosseusianus Gyeln. are discussed; and A. lanea (Ehrh. ex Hoffm.) Vain. is shown to be a synonym of A. pubescens (L.) R. H. Howe and not the correct name for A. nitidula (Th. Fr.) Vain.. The name A. prolixa (Ach.) Nyl. is rejected in accordance with Articles 69 and 70; the combination A. sarmentosa subsp. vexillifera (Nyl. in Kihlm.) D. Hawksw. stat. nov. is made; and a new variety, A. sulcata var. barbata D. Hawksw. var. nov., is described from Formosa and Sikkim.
