This is a rather common species of Fomes in the Philippines and Murrill’s 
Coriolopsis copelandi must be referred to it without question. 
Reported from Malacca and other portions of the Asiatic tropics.

Curran 19233, named by Murrill, Pyropolyporus fastuosus (Lev.) Murr., 
proves, on an examination of the material of the same collection retained 
in the herbarium of the Bureau of Science, to be not Fomes fastuosus Lev., 
but F. spadiceus (Berk.) Cooke, or, according to Murrill’s classification, 
should have been called Pyropolyporus spadiceus (Berk.). It differs from 
F. fastuosus in that the context is yellow-brown instead of brown, and is 
much thinner. The pore layers are also thinner and the top has a slightly 
dull velvety appearance rather than being shiny-velvety. There is an evi- 
dent relationship between this species and Polystictus spadiceus (Jungh.) 
Fries. 
Previously collected in India. 
FOMES SUBCHINONEUS (Murr.) comb. nov. 
Tyromyces subchioneus Murr. in Bull. Torr. Bot. Club 35 (1908) 406. 
Polyporus subchioneus Sacc. & Trott. Syll. Fung. 21 (1912) 278. 
Mindanao, District of Davao, Mount Apo, Copeland 1071/, April 20, 1904 
(Cotype of Tyromyces subchioneus Murr.) 
This species should be transfered to Fomes rather than Polyporus as 
was done by Saccardo and Trotter. The cotype specimen preserved in 
the herbarium of the Bureau of Science shows the presence of three distinct 
pore layers. 
So far, only reported from the Philippines.
