Summary:A new species, Tuber xanthomonosporum, is described based on specimens collected under Pinus yunnanensis in Panzhihua, Sichuan Province, China. Tuber xanthomonosporum invariably has only one spore per ascus. It can be distinguished from the three other Chinese Paradoxa-like species - T. gigantosporum, T. sinomonosporum, and T. glabrum - by its whitish to yellow-brownish gleba, two-layered peridium, and spiky cystidia. Molecular analysis also supports T. xanthomonosporum as a unique species.
