Three new species of (Agaricales, Inocybaceae) from Tropical Africa.

Here, we describe three new species of from Tropical Africa: , and . Morphological and molecular data show that these species have not been described before, hence need to be described as new. The phylogenetic placements of these species were inferred, based on molecular evidence from sequences of 28S and RPB2. Additional analysis using ITS dataset shows interspecific variation between each species. Phylogenetic analyses resolve in Old World Tropical clade 1 with weak support, is sister of Old World Tropical clade 1 and is indicated as sister to the rest of . Complete description and illustrations, including photographs and line drawings, are presented for each species. A new combination of into is also proposed.
