A new name for a Coltricia (Basidiomycota) from India

Examination of the isotype of a Coltricia species described from India confirms it as a good morphological species. A new name, Coltricia indica, is proposed to replace its two previous illegitimate names. The species is characterized by very small, centrally stipitate basidiomes with shiny pilei when dried, lobed to serrate and ciliate margins, and oblongellipsoid, more or less thick-walled basidiospores.
