Summary Citation of Agrostis myuros Lam. as the type species of Hymenachne P. Beauv. by Farr et al. (1979) is established as an error. Similarly, selection of A. myuros Lam. [ Hymenachne myuros (Lam.) Nees] as the lectotype species of Hymenachne P. Beauv. by Pfeiffer (1874) is in conflict with the protologue and has, in consequence, to be superseded by the selection of Agrostis monostachya Poir. [ H. amplexicaulis (Rudge) Chase, Panicum amplexicaule Rudge] as the lectotype species of the genus, by Chase (1908) (Art. 8.1).
