Genus Phlebia
[a polyphyletic genus]
This genus Phlebia has been used for a wide variety of species currently spread across three families: Irpicaceae, Meruliaceae, Phanerochaetaceae (see discussion in Justo et al. 2017).
Phlebia radiata is the type species for the genus. The smallest clade containing the type and excluding other genera seems to contain the following taxa based on DNA phylogenies (Binder et al. 2013, Floudas & Hibbett 2015, Justo et al. 2017). More taxa may be added with further investigation.
- Phlebia acerina (Merulius acerinus)
- Phlebia floridensis
- Phlebia lindtneri [not Lilaceophlebia]
- Phlebia radiata [type species]
- Phlebia rufa (Merulius rufus)
- Phlebia setulosa [not Hyphodontia]
The genus Phlebia has priority over Merulius. If the concept for Phlebia is expanded to include Merulius tremellosus then the following taxa would be added (see Binder et al. 2013, Floudas & Hibbett 2015, Justo et al. 2017, and Kuuskeri et al. 2015). This includes Aurantiopileus (three species), Aurantiporus (six to nine species depending on DNA studies) and the ophan Ceriporiopsis pseudoplacenta. [Note, Ceriporiopsis sensu stricto and Lilaceophlebia sensu stricto are in the Meruliaceae but in a different clade with Mycoacia.] It is interesting that some of these species were excluded from Gloeoporus, Hapalopilus, or Tyromyces, indicating morphological similarities to older genus concepts.
