Note.

Boletus tomentulosus M. Zang et al. was first described from Fujian Province of southeastern China ( Zang et al. 1991) and later reported from Guangdong Province of southern China ( Wu et al. 2016a). Although the description of the protologue was brief ( Zang et al. 1991), it has been well studied by Wu et al. (2016a). Our new collections were encountered near the type locality and augments our understanding of the species and the genus Neoboletus .
