Abstract

Cupreoboletus is erected as a new monospecific genus of Boletaceae to accommodate the thermophilic southern European species Boletus poikilochromus, characterized by discoloration towards copper-red tints overall, hymenophore forming tiny crystals upon drying, a pervasive and long lasting sweet odor and presence of pseudocystidia. Macro- and microscopic descriptions of the species based on re-examination of the type material and recent Italian collections including additional topotypical samples are provided and accompanied by photos and line drawings of the main anatomical structures. In addition, an epitype specimen is selected. Phylogenetic relationships were inferred from multigene molecular analysis based on partial sequences of genes for ribosomal RNA polymerase II subunits 1 and 2, translation elongation factor 1-? and nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacers and 28S. Ecological context, geographical range and delimitation from closely allied taxa were also are elucidated. B. martaluciae is treated as a synonym of C. poikilochromus according to the morphological and molecular comparative study.
