AB  - Molecular investigations into two truffle-like fungi within the Pyronemataceae (Pezizales, Ascomycota) revealed hidden diversity that required further clarification of generic and species boundaries of the hypogeous, ptychothecial members of this family. Here we describe Terracavicola echinospora gen. et. sp. nov. from Mexico and we transfer Pachyphlodes lateritia from the western United States into the genus Geopora as Geopora lateritia comb. nov. We provide molecular phylogenetic evidence based on ITS and 28S ribosomal DNA for the placement of both taxa and provide detailed morphological analyses. We also discuss the taxonomy of other morphologically similar taxa in Pyronemataceae with an emphasis on the lineage that includes Geopora, Hoffmannoscypha, Picoa, and Tricharina.
