ABSTRACT=<p>Species of <italic>Craterellus</italic> (Hydnaceae, Cantharellales) in China are investigated on the basis of morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences from nuc 28S rDNA D1-D2 domains (28S) and nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region. Five species are recognized in China, of which three of them are described as new, viz. <italic>C. fulviceps</italic>, <italic>C. minor</italic>, and <italic>C. parvopullus</italic>, while two of them are previously described taxa, viz. <italic>C. aureus</italic>, and <italic>C. lutescens</italic>. A key to the known Chinese taxa of the genus is also provided.</p>
