Taxonomic notes

At the time of description, it was noted that this species could eventually be placed in Paxillus (Burt 1926).

---

Geographic range

This species is only definitively known from a collection made on an oak stump in Florida (see Burt 1926). MyCoPortal (2024) only contains a record from the San Francisco Bay area, a very long way from the type collection, bringing into question its validity.
