**
Walter made "Muscaetoxicum" the specific epithet, with the capital letter indicating his use of an old generic name (a noun in apposition) in the basionym protologue. Art. 60.8, Ex. 22 of the nomenclature rules (McNeill et al. 2012) applies here, and the species name is not to be altered to "muscitoxicum".
