Several longstanding generic names in current use in the Epacridoideae (Ericaceae) are untypified: Archeria Hook.f., Astroloma R.Br., Coleanthera Stschegl., Pentachondra R.Br., and Lysinema R.Br.. This short paper clarifies the typification of these names, and of Epacris pumila J.R.Forst. & G.Forst., the basionym of Pentachondra pumila (J.R.Forst. & G.Forst.) R.Br.
