During preparation of the account of Bolbitidaceae for the Flora of China, volume 3, it was noticed that one species accepted in some earlier treatments is based on an illegitimate combination, Bolbitis bipinnatifida (J. Smith) K. Iwatsuki, not Bolbitis bipinnatifida (Kuhn) Ching. The following replacement name is proposed here: Bolbitis longiaurita F. G. Wang & F. W. Xing.
