Abstract   This note proposes the recombination of Chaetoscypha nidulans in Pirottaea, and places Pirottaea falcata in synonymy with that species. As C. nidulans is the type species of Chaetoscypha Syd. 1924, this genus is now a synonym of Pirottaea Sacc. 1878.

Keywords   Pirottaea; Hyaloscyphaceae; New Zealand; fungi; taxonomy
