Abstract

We present a proposal of two new species ofPhylloporusdiscovered in tropical oak forests from central Veracruz, Mexico. Both species were distinguished based on macro and micro-morphologic features and supported with a molecular phylogenetic analysis, based on sequences of nuc rDNA ITS, D1, D2 and D3 domains of nuc 28S rDNA (LSU), and transcription elongation factor 1-alpha (tef-1α). In the phylogenetic reconstruction inferred, the new species clustered in two different clades related to species from USA, Costa Rica and Panama. The recollection of fructifications in monodominant stands of eitherQuercusoleoidesorQ.sapotifolia, allowed recognizing the distribution of one of thePhylloporusspecies under bothQuercusspecies, and the other underQ.oleoidesonly. Detailed macro and microscopic descriptions accompanied by illustrations, photos and a taxonomic discussion are provided.
