Summary The tribe name Ixechineae (Boletaceae) is validly published having been invalidly published by Heim (1939). A discussion of the infratribal taxonomy of Ixechineae is presented. Two genera, Ixechinus Heim ex Horak and Mucilopilus Wolfe, are recognized in the Ixechineae. Fistulinella Hennings is not considered in this work to be taxonomically synonymous with either Ixechinus or Mucilopilus since Fistulinella violates the circumscriptions of both of these genera. Furthermore, Fistulinella also violates the circumscription of Ixechineae and, therefore, cannot be included in this tribe. Because of the uncertainty of some character states of Fistulinella , it must be placed among the Genera Incertae Sedis of the Boletaceae.
