Hymenochaete Lév., Annls Sci. Nat., Bot., sér. 3 5: 150 (1846)

Hymenochaete is a large wood – inhabiting genus with more than 120 species He and Dai (2012). This genus was charactered by its corticioid hymenophore within the Hymenochaetaceae, until Wagner and Fischer (2002)combined lamellate and poroid species from Cyclomyces Kunze ex Fr. Later, three more poroid species of Cyclomyces were addressed in Hymenochaete (He and Dai 2012; Gomes-Silva et al. 2012). Two new poroid species of Hymenochaete are described in this study (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1 Phylogenetic position of Hymenochaete micropora and H. subporioides (in bold-face) inferred from ITS sequences. Topology is from maximum likelihood analysis; statistical values from maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony (simultaneously above 50 %) for each node are indicated at the branches.
