Two species of Xanthagaricus discovered in Hubei Province China are described based on the macro- and micromorphological features. Their identity is further supported by molecular analysis internal transcribed spacer (ITS) ribosomal RNA gene. The phylogeny obtained here showed that one Chinese nested an exclusive clade which combination with its striking morphological features, infers it represents a new species, named X. ianthinus, while other placed as member epipastus clade. Descriptions accompanied illustrations characters discussion related taxa presented.
