This paper reports results from a phylogenetic analysis of so-called "Psilocybe cyanescens complex" with three molecular markers (ITS, LSU EF1-alpha). The results support the existence of two molecularly well-supported morphological groups, that of Psilocybe cyanescens and P. azurescens on the one hand, and the complex of P. serbica on the other. However, in the last group, no sequence variability within the three molecular markers from P. serbica and related taxa P. bohemika, P. arcana, and P. moravika was found. It was also demonstrated that the secotioid Weraroa novae-zelandiae belongs to the P. cyanescens species complex. Accordingly, it was transferred to Psilocybe as P. weraroa, nomen novum.
