Abstract

Based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic analysis, the new species Tuber glabrum is described from China, and the new name T. sinomonosporum is proposed for Paradoxa sinensis. Tuber glabrum is similar to T. gigantosporum but differs by its glabrous ascomata. The ITS sequences of the two Paradoxa-like truffle species, which invariably have one-spored asci, fall into the lineage of Tuber and cluster in a distinct clade together with the European T. macrosporum and the North American T. canaliculatum.
