COMMENTS: The spelling of the name was clarified by Corbet (1978b); dsinezumi was placed on the Official List of Specific Names; see the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (1983). Includes chisai and quelpartis, but not orii; see Corbet (1978c). Formerly included in russula; see Jameson and Jones (1977). The subspecies hosletti described by these authors from Taiwan is tentatively included in dsinezumi rather than russula on the basis of published measurements and descriptions.
