Abstract
Váňa et al. (2013) elevated Anastrophyllum subgen. Schizophyllum (Schuster 1969: 739) to generic rank as Schizophyllum (R.M.Schust.) Váňa & L.Söderstr. (2013: 16), overlooking the genus Schizophyllum Nuttall (1841: 452; Asteraceae) and, thereby creating an illegitimate later homonym.
This is corrected here by publication of the new genus Schizophyllopsis and the transfer of all species of Schizophyllum (R.M.Schust.) Váňa et al. to that genus. Despite the generic name itself being illegitimate, names published under Schizophyllum (R.M.Schust.) Váňa & L.Söderstr. are legitimate under ICN Art. 55.1 (see below).
The format of this note follows what is outlined in Söderström et al. (2012) except that the Melbourne code of nomenclature (ICN; McNeill et al. 2012) is followed instead of the Vienna code (ICBN; McNeill et al 2006).
