•Crinipellis floccosa is newly described from southern China.•It is compared with C. corvina, C. furcata, C. procera and C. zonata morphologically.•Crinipellis floccosa can be recognized by its pale gray pileus with reddish brown floccose squamules.
A new species Crinipellis floccosa, discovered from Jiangxi and Guagndong provinces in southern China, is formally introduced. Morphologically the new taxon is similar to C. zonata and C. corvina, but the pale gray to reddish brown floccose squamules on the pileus make it a distinct species, which is also supported by the molecular data based on ribosomal RNA gene ITS sequence. The holotype is deposited in the fungal herbarium of Guangdong Institute of Microbiology (GDGM) and the sequence data is deposited in GenBank.
