Three new Peniophorella species (Hymenochaetales) growing on dead wood, are described and illustrated. Peniophorella aspersa was collected in Taiwan and mainland China, and characterized by minutely warted hymenial surface, well-developed subiculum, rare stephanocysts and cylindrical-suballantoid spores. Peniophorella crystallifera collected in mainland China, Taiwan and Japan, is distinguished by sparsely grandinioid hymenial surface, immersed heavily encrusted cystidia, stephanocysts and ellipsoid-subcylindrical spores. The characteristic features of P. reticulata, found in Taiwan, are minutely porulose, odontioid basidiomata, provided with peg-like groups of hyphae, stellate crystalline incrustations on hyphal ends and oblong-ellipsoid spores. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetic reconstructions based on ITS and 28S sequences demonstrated that P. aspersa and P. reticulata belong to the same group of species, and the all three species are most closely related to P. praetermissa and P. rude.

Three new species of Megarthrus Curtis from mainland China belonging to the M. calcaratus species complex are described: M. bajie Liu & Cuccodoro sp. nov., M. wujing Liu & Cuccodoro sp. nov., and M. wukong Liu & Cuccodoro sp. nov.. Also pertaining to this lineage of Megarthus, the East Palaearctic M. zerchei Cuccodoro & Löbl is reported here to occur in China (new country record). These four species are diagnosed, illustrated, and keyed. Their distribution in mainland China is mapped, and their affinities are briefly discussed.

Three new species of the genus Oligaphorura are described from southwestern China (O. wanglangensis sp. nov.) and Russian Far East (O. ussurica sp. nov. and O. kedroviensis sp. nov.). The first species is most similar to O. inya (Weiner & Kaprus’, 2014) known from the Altai Mountains, and can be distinguished from the latter by larger body size and the number of ventral psx (00/000/121101m in O. wanglangensis sp. nov. vs 1/000/212101m in O. inya). The other two species, together with O. montana Weiner, 1994, O. pseudomontana Sun & Wu, 2012 and O. chankaensis Sun & Wu, 2012, form a distinct species-group characterized by the presence of 4+4 pso on antennal base and full-sized anal spines. Both these new species differ from the known congeners of this group by having only 2+2 posterior pso on the head. O. ussurica sp. nov. and O. kedroviensis sp. nov. can be separated due to different number of abdominal pso, i.e. 5(6)5554 in the former vs 44454 in the latter species.

AbstractThe seven species of Lonchaeidae described by de Meijere from south-east Asia (all placed by him in the genus Lonchaea) are redescribed, compared with their relatives, and assigned to their proper genera: Lonchaea minuta, L. pugionata, Silba gibbosa, S. lucens, S. obscuripennis, S. setifera (all from Java), and S. cupraria (from Krakatau). Lectotypes are designated for all except cupraria which is known from the holotype only. L. minuta is a prior name for lambiana Bezzi (= longicornis Lamb). S. obscuripennis (= zopherosa McAlpine) is a junior synonym of S. atratula (Walker). Three new species, L. marshalli from Natal, L. hennigi from Formosa, and S. vanemdeni from Malaya, are described. Keys to the world species of the L. impressifrons and of the S. abstata groups of species are provided. The genitalia of 16 species are figured.

Abstract The systematic position of the enigmatic genus Squamanita (Agaricales, Basidiomycota) is largely unknown. Together with Cystoderma and Phaeolepiota, they were categorized as belonging in the tribe Cystodermateae. In this study, with newly generated sequences of the type species of the genus Squamanita, namely S. schreieri, and sequences of a few species of Cystodermateae, the phylogeny of this “tribe” is reinvestigated with a concatenated (28S-5.8S-18S) dataset. Our study reveals that Squamanita and Phaeolepiota-Cystoderma are indeed sister groups with moderate statistic support (MLBS/PP = 80/1), and Squamanita is a monophyletic clade with highly statistic support (MLBS/PP = 92/1). The family name Squamanitaceae is resurrected and emended to accommodate the three genera. Meanwhile, another concatenated (ITS-28S-18S) dataset is used to investigate the phylogenetic relationship and species delimitation in Squamanita. Our data indicated that “S. umbonata” from North America, Europe, East Asia, and Central America harbors a complex of species, and species of Squamanita can parasitize species of Amanita, besides other fungal species. Squamanita mira parasitizes A. kitamagotake (A. sect. Caesareae), while S. orientalis and S. sororcula are parasites of species belonging to the A. sepiacea complex (A. sect. Validae). “Squamanita umbonata” from Italy occurs on A. excelsa (A. sect. Validae). Three new species of Squamanita from East Asia, viz. S. mira, S. orientalis and S. sororcula are documented with morphological, multi-genes phylogenetic, ecological data, line drawings, and photographs and compared with similar species.

The new delphacid genus Akemetopon gen. n. (Delphacinae: Delphacini) is described and illustrated with 3 new species from Arizona and Mexico: Akemetopon inornatum sp. n., A. politum sp. n., and A. ainigma sp. n. A key to species is provided. The barcoding portion of the mitochondrial gene Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) was sequenced for A. politum sp. n. A maximum likelihood analysis places this genus in the basal Delphacini.

Two new genera and three species of the Pantheinae are described. The genus Flavala gen. n. (type-species Acronycta flavala Moore, 1867) is separated from Anacronicta Warren, 1909. The new combination Flavala flavala (Moore, 1867) comb. n. is introduced. Two new species, Flavala crypta sp. n. and F. secunda sp. n. are described based on the result of barcoding of mitochondrial DNA. The new genus Xizanga gen. n. (type-species Xizanga mysterica sp.n.) is tentatively placed in Pantheinae.

Three new species of Russulaceae, Lactifluus umbonatus and Lactifluus indicus belonging to Lf. subg. Gerardii and Lactarius keralensis belonging to L. subg. Piperites, are described from Kerala State, India. Comprehensive descriptions, photographs, line drawings and comparisons with phenetically similar and phylogenetically related species are given. Nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS) of the three species were sequenced and analyzed. In addition, nuclear ribosomal large subunit (nLSU) gene of Lactifluus indicus was sequenced and the sequence was used in BLASTn search to find similar sequences. Maximum likelihood (ML) analysis based on the ITS sequences confirmed both the novelty of these species and their placement within their respective genera. The discovery of Lactifluus umbonatus and Lf. indicus represent the first report of novel species belonging to Lf. subg. Gerardii from India. Lactifluus indicus represents the second record of a pleurotoid Lactifluus species from India.
