The generic names applied to the genus named here Krombholziella R. Maire are analysed from the nomenclatural viewpoint on the basis of the present nomenclatural Code. The generic names Krombholzia P. Karst, and Trachypus Bat. are later homonyms and therefore should be refused. It is demonstrated here that the generic name Leccinum S. F. Gray 1821 is illegitimate. On the basis of this illegitimate state and several other facts the generic name Leccinum Snell 1942 cannot be accepted and should be considered as a later homonym of Leccinum S. F. Gray 1821. Hence the author accepts the generic name Krombholziella R. Maire and consequently he proposes new combinations.
