Abstract

The taxonomic position of Genabea in the Pezizales is discussed. Due to discovery of an intermediate species between Genea and Genabea in China, the modern concepts of these two genera become confused. In this paper, Genabea is reduced to subgeneric rank in the genus Genea, i.e. Genea subgen. Genabea (Tul. & C. Tul.) stat. nov. (basionym: Genabea Tul. & C. Tul.), typified by Genea fragilis (Tul. & C. Tul) comb. nov. (basionym: Genabea fragilis Tul. & C. Tul.). The species formerly included in Genabea are revised. Three species of Genea found in China are described and illustrated in detail, including Genea sinensis, Genea variabilis which are described as new and Genea fragilis as new to the Chinese mycoflora. A key to the species is provided.
