SUMMARY
Typification and the nomenclatural and current taxonomic status of the names of the 15 genera included by Whetzel in his original delimitation of the family Sclerotiniaceae are reviewed. Martinia is invalid, being a later homonym, for which the name Martininia is available. The correct name for Ciborinia is shown to be Sclerotinia, and the correct name for Stromatinia is Tarzetta. The generic name Myriosclerotinia is available to replace Sclerotinia in Whetzel's sense. The name Rutstroemia is typified by a species which Whetzel excluded from the family. The other generic names accepted by Whetzel are available and may be used in his taxonomic sense.
