　Description： Basidiocarp resupinate, effuse, adnate, submembranaceous to subceraceous, 50-120 μm thick in section. Hymenial surface greyish yellow to light yellow, smooth, occasionally cracked; margin usually paler, thinning, pruinose. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae simple-septate. Subiculum fairly uniform, with fairly dense texture, composed of medullary layer; hyphae colorless, sometimes indistinct, moderately ramified, 1.5-3 μm diam., thin-walled. Hymenial layer not clearly differentiated from subiculum, somewhat thickening. Gloeocystidia numerous, irregularly cylindrical or fusiform, distributed in hymenial layer, fairly undifferentiated from basidioles in shape, 20-50 × 4.5-8.5 μm, thin-walled, SA+. Basidia clavate or narrowly clavate, ± flexuous, 23-35 × 6-7.5 μm, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores almost globose, smooth, bearing a distinct apiculus, (6-) 6.3-7 (-7.5) × (5-) 5.3-6 (-6.2) μm, guttulate, IKI slightly bluish black, CB–.

　Note： This new species is similar to Gloiothele citrina, but can be distinguished from the latter by the larger basidiospores. In contast to G. citrina, Basidiocarp gloeocystidia of this new species are smaller and are SA positive. Moreover, collections of G. citrinoidea were made from palms in subtropical Taiwan, while G. citrina is species from temperate regions and usually found on coniferous or deciduous wood.
