Bonsoir
Am I correct in thinking that while Tapesia is no longer considered to be a justifiable genus v. Mollisia, there are a number of combinations which have not yet been made? I am assuming that older combinations in Mollisia can be treated as the valid current name - e.g. M. evilescens (P. Karst.) Mussat, and M. fusca (Pers.) P. Karst. ?
Also I am assuming that a new specific name would be needed for Tapesia cinerella Rehm, which seems not to be conspecific with Mollisia cinerella Sacc.
Clarification welcomed!
Amitiés, Chris

Re : Tapesia
Hi Chris.
Tapesia is a rejected name, against Mollisia, as indicated in the Appendix III of Shenzhen Code.
As a consequence, all validly published names in Tapesia should be combined in Mollisia, except if such combination already exists.
As Tapesia cinerella Rehm does not share the same type of Mollisia cinerella Sacc., a new name is required to combine it in Mollisia.

Re : Tapesia
Yes, some new combinations would be necessary. The only thing is whether the species in question is a good one or perhaps only a synonym of another. Many such synonymies are still to be discovered, and Mollisia with its high species diversity is a good example, either between teleomorphs or between teleomorphs and an anamorph that might have priority.
