There are described specimens of the extremely rare polypore Phellinus chinensis (Pil.) Pil. from two new localities in Northern Asia in the USSR. This fungus was hitherto known from only one collection from China and its taxonomic position is now newly defined. P. chinensis is characterized by lacking setae, fairly large coloured spores, parallel hyphae of tube trama, large pores, a black line on section of the basidiocarp and the tuffy strigose surface of small pilei (when developed).
