A brief survey of the genera Paxillus Fr. and Tapinella Gilb. is given with a key to the determination of Central European species of this group. Differences between the above mentioned genera are summarized into seven points. The species Agaricus atrotomentosus Batsch: Fr., often treated as a Paxillus, is here transferred to the genus Tapinella. The following new combinations are proposed: Tapinella atrotomentosa (Batsch: Fr.) comb. nov. and Tapinella panuoides (Fr.: Fr.) Gilb. f. ionipes (Quel.) comb. nov.
