Bondarzewia podocarpi is described as new and is distinguished from other species in the genus by regular pores, presence of cystidioles, thin generative hyphae and short basidia. It was found in tropical China and grows on living trees of Podocarpus. Parsimony analyses were applied to an ITS dataset. The results suggest that Bondarzewia is monophyletic with two well supported internal clades. One clade includes B. podocarpi and B. guaitecasensis, while the other includes B. berkeleyi and B. montana. Based on studied materials of Bondarzewia from the world, an identification key to the species of the genus is provided.

Key words: Bondarzewia, ITS, phylogeny, polypore, Russulales
