AbstractIn this study we clarify the phylogeny and reassess the current taxonomy of the Micarea prasina group, focusing especially on the M. byssacea and M. micrococca complexes. The phylogeny was investigated using ITS, mtSSU and Mcm7 regions from 25 taxa belonging to the M. prasina group. A total of 107 new sequences were generated. Data were analyzed using maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood methods. The results reveal five undescribed well-supported lineages. Four of the lineages represent new species described as Micarea pseudomicrococca Launis & Myllys sp. nov., M. czarnotae Launis, van den Boom, Sérusiaux & Myllys sp. nov., M. microareolata Launis, Pykälä & Myllys sp. nov. and M. laeta Launis & Myllys sp. nov. In addition, a fifth lineage was revealed that requires further study. Micarea pseudomicrococca is characterized by an olive green granular thallus, small cream-white or brownish apothecia lacking the Sedifolia-grey pigment and two types of paraphyses up to 2 µm wide. Micarea czarnotae forms a granular, densely granular or continuous olive green thallus, convex to hemispherical apothecia often with the Sedifolia-grey pigment and no crystalline granules in the thallus. Micarea microareolata is characterized by a ± pale green areolate thallus (composed of goniocysts), cream-white apothecia lacking the Sedifolia-grey pigment and narrow spores. Micarea laeta has a vivid to olive green granular thallus, pale apothecia lacking the Sedifolia-grey pigment and wider spores compared to M. microareolata. Descriptions, images and a key are provided for the new species. Crystalline granules are introduced as a novel species-level character for Micarea.

We employed sequences of two chloroplast regions (trnL-trnF, rbcL) and the nuclear ribosomal ITS region of seven accessions of Leptolejeunea to explore its phylogenetic position. Maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses led to similar topologies but deeper nodes received good bootstrap support only with maximum likelihood methods. Leptolejeunea formed an early diverging, robust monophyletic lineage within Lejeuneaceae tribe Lejeuneeae. Contrary to earlier belief, it is not closely related to Drepanolejeunea. To amend the current classification of Lejeuneeae into subtribes, we propose Leptolejeuneinae, subtr. nov.

Karos Goodnight & Goodnight, 1944 is the most diverse genus of the family Stygnopsidae. It contains seven micro-endemic species from the Huasteca region in eastern Mexico. In this paper, the new species Karos morronei sp. nov. is described based on the morphology of adults of both sexes. The new species is from Zacualtipán de Ángeles, Hidalgo State, which represents the southernmost record for the genus. Additionally, a reanalysis of the previous morphological phylogeny of the genus using both parsimony and maximum likelihood methods is provided. According to the morphological reanalysis, K. morronei sp. nov. exhibits an autapomorphy (males with femur IV thicker than females) and is the sister group of the clade that includes K. barbarikos, K. hexasetosus, K. monjarazi, K. parvus and K. singularis. Finally, information of barcoding (CO1) is provided for this new species.

A New Species

The genus Pelecystola Meyrick, 1920 and the species Pelecystola strigosa (Moore, 1888) are newly recorded from China, and Pelecystola peculiarissp. nov. is described as new to science. Adults, head, venation, and genitalia of the two species are illustrated. A molecular phylogenetic analysis is presented to ascertain the generic affiliation of the new species. Forty-four species of 38 genera in Tineidae are analyzed using maximum likelihood methods based on one mitochondrial (COI) and two nuclear gene fragments (CAD and wingless). DNA barcodes of the two species are provided, and the genetic distance of barcode divergence among four species of Pelecystola is calculated.

A fragment of 772 bp of the chloroplast maturase K gene was amplified and sequenced for <em>Rosa x damascena trigintipetala</em> variety growing in Taif region of Saudi Arabia. The data were aligned with their counterparts of other varieties already found in the Genbank database and were analyzed by maximum-parsimony, neighbor-joining and maximum-likelihood methods and a single rooted tree was executed. <em>R. x damascena trigintipetala</em> was paraphyletic where one sample [A] clustered with all varieties while the second [B] was basal. <em>R. x damascena</em> was sister to <em>R. x chinensis semperflorens</em> with the later being basal. <em>R. x damascena gori</em> was basal for all taxa studied. <em>R. moschata</em> was inside the clade of <em>R. x damascena</em>. Hybridization could be possible among <em>R. damascena, R. chinensis</em> and <em>R. moschata</em>. The genetic distance and tree topology indicated that [A] variety could be originated from <em>R. moshata</em> while [B] could be originated from gori or <em>R. chinensis semperflorens</em>. We, therefore, may consider that <em>R. x damascena gori</em> or <em>R. chinensis</em> could be the origin of all nowadays <em>R. x damascena</em> varieties.

Abstract In this study, we investigated the diversity of diatrypaceous fungi from six regions in China based on morpho-molecular analyses (maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses of combined ITS and tub2 gene regions). We accept 24 genera in Diatrypaceae with 19 genera involved in the phylogram and the other five genera are lacking living materials with available sequences. Eleven species include in four genera (viz. Allocryptovalsa, Diatrype, Eutypella and Allodiatrypella gen. nov.) have been isolated from seven hosts species, of which ten novel species (Allocryptovalsa castanea, Allodiatrypella betulae, A. betulicola, A. betulina, A. hubeiensis, A. xinjiangensis, Diatrype betulae, D. castaneicola, D. quercicola and Eutypella castaneicola) are introduced in this study, while Eutypella citricola is a new record from Morus host. Current results show the high diversity of members of Diatrypaceae species which are wood-inhabiting fungi in China.

Expanded generic diagnoses of all life stages of Yaeprimus Sasa et Suzuki, 2000 (Lunditendipes Harrison, 2000, syn. n.) are given. Yaeprimus tropicus comb. n. is redescribed as an adult based on type material. Additionally, a new species Y. balteatus sp. n. from Oriental China is described based on the adult male and pupa. The phylogenetic position of Yaeprimus within Chironomini and the validity of the new species are explored based on concatenated five genetic markers (18S, 28S, CAD1, CAD4, and COI-3P) through both mixed–model Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood methods. The results strongly support Yaeprimus as sister to Imparipecten Freeman, 1961, which counters a previously proposed systematical position based solely on morphology.

The open-holed trapdoor spiders of the genus Teyl Main, 1975 from the Pilbara bioregion of Western Australia are investigated. A single endemic species from the southern Pilbara, T. heuretes sp. nov., is newly described, representing the northern-most occurrence of the genus in Australia. Legacy molecular data for Australian Nemesiidae, along with newly generated sequences for all described species of Teyl known from Western Australia, are analysed using Maximum Likelihood methods, providing molecular data for T. heuretes and an expanded phylogenetic assessment of the genus.

Specimens of Agaricus sections Xanthodermatei and Hondenses were collected in Tibet and the surrounding areas. All specimens were morphologically described and subjected to molecular phylogenetic analysis of the ITS and combined ITS, LSU and tef-1α sequence data using Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood methods. Twelve species were identified in this study, eleven of which were new species and one of which was identified in China for the first time. All of the identified species are described and illustrated with photo plates.
