In this paper, seven new species of the Phyllocoptini (Acari: Eriophyidae: Phyllocoptinae) from China are described and illustrated. They are Calvittacus swidanus sp. nov. on Swida macrophylla (Cornaceae); Vasates desmodius sp. nov. on Desmodium sp. (Fabaceae); Epitrimerus nyingchicus sp. nov. on Cotoneaster ambiguus (Rosaceae); Calepitrimerus painus sp. nov. on Rhododendron sp.

Faberia is a perennial herbaceous member of Asteraceae that is mainly distributed in central and southwestern China. Nuclear (ITS) and plastid (psbA–trnH, rbcL, matK, and trnL–F) sequences representing five Faberia species were analyzed with maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian inference, all of which strongly supported the monophyly of Faberia. Faberia nanchuanensis, F. cavaleriei, and F. faberi from central China form a well-supported clade. Additionally, F. sinensis and F. thibetica from southwestern China also form a well-supported clade. Incongruence between nuclear and plastid fragments was interpreted as hybridization or limited character evolution in the plastid DNA. Faberia may have descended from hybridization between Lactucinae and Crepidinae. Besides phylogenetic results, Faberia nanchuanensis is recorded for the first time from Hunan Province, and F. sinensis from the Tibet Autonomous Region.

Two new species of the nemourid genus Amphinemura are described based on recent material collected from the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. The new taxa include A. chayuensis sp. nov. and A. hexalobata sp. nov., the latter species is respresented by both sexes. The new species are compared to related taxa.

A new species, Sarcopodium tibetense, is described on rotten stem base of maize straw from the Tibet Autonomous Region. The anatomy of perithecia, which covered with septate, curved hairs on the surface, striate ascospores, and penicillate conidiophores indicate that the fungus belongs to Sarcopodium. It is characterized by solitary to gregarious perithecia that are globose to subglobose or pyriform, not becoming cupulate upon drying, and with hyaline hairs on surface; cylindrical to clavate asci with eight ascospores that are fusiform to ellipsoidal and striate. The asexual state is penicillium-like and with subglobose, ellipsoidal, oblong to rod-shaped, aseptate, smooth, hyaline conidia aggregated in a slimy mass. Sarcopodium tibetense is distinguished from its morphologically similar species, S. circinosetiferum, by narrower conidiophores and the presence of 50 bp and 9 bp sequence divergences in the ITS and LSU regions. Sequence analysis of the combined act, ITS, LSU and tub genes confirm its taxonomic position in Sarcopodium as a species new to science.
