Abstract

Eleven taxa ofLopharias.s.,Dendrodontia,DentocorticiumandFuscocerrenain Polyporales are included in the phylogenetic analyses of nuc rDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS), D1-D2 domains of nuc 28S rDNA (28S) and RNA polymerase II second-largest subunit (rpb2) sequences. New speciesLophariaresupinataandL.sinensisare described and illustrated.Lophariaresupinata, from south-eastern China, is closely related toL.ayresii, andL.sinensis, from northern China, is related toL.cinerascensandL.mirabilis.Lophariamirabilisspecimens from temperate to tropical areas with varied hymenophore configurations all cluster together in a fully supported clade.DendrodontiaandFuscocerrenaare shown to be synonyms ofDentocorticium, which is phylogenetically related toLopharia. Four new combinations,Dentocorticiumbicolor,D.hyphopaxillosum,D.portoricenseandD.taiwanianum, are proposed. Revised generic descriptions ofLophariaandDentocorticiumare provided with keys to the six accepted species in each genus. A list of all names inLophariaandDentocorticiumare presented with their current taxonomic status. Type specimens ofDentocorticiumbrasilienseandD.irregularewere examined and determined to be later synonyms ofPunctulariasubhepaticaandDiplomitoporusdaedaleiformis, respectively.Corticioid fungi, dendrohyphidia, species complex, wood-inhabiting fungi
