Morphologically, it is characterized by its Received in revised form small basidioma with a pileus of 13e22 mm broad, reddish brown to brownish violet or 11 February 2015 violet brown, glutinous and wrinkled pileus fringed with gelatinized veil remnants at the Accepted 12 February 2015 margin, and basidiospores of (8e)8.5e10  4e4.5(e5) mm in size. Phylogenetic analysis of Available online 18 March 2015 the new species and related taxa based on large subunit of nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (LSU) sequences is provided. Morphological and molecular data show that the new species Keywords: should be placed in genus Aureoboletus, and it is clearly different from any known taxon.

Boletales Taxonomy The genus Aureoboletus was circumscribed by Pouzar (1957) collection is actually a species of Boletus (Zang et al. 1993; with A. gentilis (Quel.) Pouzar as the type species, renowned Klofac 2010); and the species A. reticuloceps has been trans- for its viscid pileus and attractive bright yellow and un- ferred into the genus Boletus based on morphological and changing hymenophore. It is a small genus in the family molecular evidences (Zang et al. 1993; Wang and Yao 2005; Boletaceae and comprises 14 known species and varieties Dentinger et al. 2010; Feng et al. 2012).
