Abstract
Recent collections of the rare Peziza rifaii J. Moravec & Spooner made in Italy and France, as well as examination of historical collections from Australia and Panama, allowed for a re-evaluation of its distribution and taxonomic position within Pezizaceae (Pezizomycota, Ascomycota), based on morphological and newly generated molecular data. The new genus Pyropezia is proposed to accommodate Peziza rifaii.
Keywords: Ascomycota, cup-forming fungi, Pezizomycota, pyrophilous discomycetes, taxonomy.
