Boletus marekii, a new species which was found in northwestern Bohemia (Czech Republic), is described. This species, belonging to the Boletus chrysenteron group (Boletus subgen. Xerocomus), is characterised mainly by its xerocomoid appearance, red-coloured, soon coarsely rimose-areolate pileus and smooth, truncate spores. Characters distinguishing Boletus marekii from other species of this group, e.g. Boletus armeniacus, Boletus rubellus, Boletus porosporus, Boletus fennicus, Boletus ripariellus and Boletus declivitatum, are discussed. A new combination, Boletus fennicus, is proposed.
