In 2015, a new species Tuber petrophilum (close relative to Tuber melanosporum and Tuber brumale) was discovered in Serbia within the Dinaric Alps. In 2018, two new species were discovered in Brazil. Tuber floridanum (with the commercial name Trufa Sapucaya meaning 'The last Guarany breath') and Tuber brennemanii grow in association with pecan rootlets.
