Identifications of 29 species of polypores described by Corner were made by type examinations. Laetifomes gen. nov. is proposed, typified by Rigidoporus flammans. The following new combinations are proposed: Abortiporus zonatus, Antrodiella flava, Laetifomes flammans, Oligoporus perplexus, Trichaptum vinaceibrunneum and Tyromyces sublacunosus. The following names are accepted in the original genera: Microporellus fuliginosus, M. pahangensis, M. subumbonatus, Rigidoporus adnatus, R. erectus and R. incarnatus. The following names are considered synonyms: Heteroporus kinabaluensis, Microporellus brunneus, M. nigripes, Rigidoporus albiporus, R. ochraceicinctus, R. parvulus, R. patellarius, R. sulphureus, R. suppileatus, R. trametoides and R. vinaceus. The following species are dubious because of their poor or sterile conditions: Heteroporus odoratus, Microporellus labyrinthiformis, Oxyporus lilaceus and Rigidoporus hypobrunneides. No authentic specimens were traced for Microporellus grandiporus and Paratrichaptum accuratum. Descriptions and line drawings are given for most of the accepted species.
