Abstract

Identifications of 28 polypore species described by Corner were made by type examinations. The following new comblnations are proposed:Antrodiella aurantiaca; A. heritierae; Grifola kinabaluensis; Perenniporia marmorata; Piptoporus malesianus. The following species are accepted in the original genera:Polyporus aurantibrunneus; P. pervadens; Meripilus applanatus; Flabellophora intertexta; F. velutinosa. The following species are synonyms:Buglossoporus matangensis; B. rufescens; Meripilus villosulus; Flabellophora inconspicua; F. nana; F. squamosa. The following species belong to difficult species complexes, and allied species are cited:Polyporus trametoides; Flabellophora latiporus. The following species are dubious because of their poor or sterile conditions:Buglossoporus flavus; Flabellophora brevipes; F. deceptiva; F. flaviporus; F. obtorta; F. subsimplex. No authentic specimens were traced for the following 4 species:Buglossoporus brunneiflavus; B. magnus; Meripilus maculatus; Daedalea langkawiensis. Descriptions and line drawings are given for some of the accepted species. The taxonomic positions ofPolyporus obovatus and its allied species, and the genusFlabellophora are discussed.
