Abstract The poorly known genus Lacunipotamon Dai, Song, He, Cao, Xu & Zhong, 1975, is studied and reviewed. Two new species, Lacunipotamon yuanshi sp. nov. and Lacunipotamon cymatile sp. nov. from Yunnan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, respectively, are described based on morphology and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences. Both superficially resemble Lacunipotamon albusorbitum Dai, Song, He, Cao, Xu & Zhong, 1975, the type and previously only known species in the genus, but can be distinguished by the combination of live colour, size, maxilliped III, male thoracic sternum, male pleon, male gonopod, and female gonopore characters. Phylogenetic analysis of the molecular data corroborates the novelty of the two species.

Lithobius (Ezembius) longibasitarsussp. n. and Lithobius (Ezembius) datongensissp. n. (Lithobiomorpha: Lithobiidae), recently discovered from Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China, are described. A key to the species of the subgenus Ezembius in China is presented. The partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I barcoding gene was amplified and sequenced for eight individuals of the two new species and the dataset was used for molecular phylogenetic analysis and genetic distance determination. Both morphology and molecular data show that the specimens examined should be referred to Lithobius (Ezembius).

Two new species of feather mites from the superfamily Analgoidea are described from the grey-headed woodpecker, Picus canus, in Korea: Neopteronyssus koreanus sp. nov. (Pteronyssidae) and Proterothrix picinus sp. nov. (Proctophyllodidae: Pterodectinae). Feather mites of the genera Neopteronyssus Mironov, 2002 and Proterothrix Gaud, 1968 are described for the first time in Korea. Morphological descriptions of both new species are complemented with partial sequences of their mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene as DNA barcodes.

Paris lihengiana (Melanthiaceae), a new species from Yunnan Province, China, is described and illustrated based on evidence from morphological characters and molecular phylogeny. It differs from other species of Paris in its pubescent stem, pedicel and abaxial leaf surface, as well as other characters. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of 33 taxa in Paris was conducted based on nuclear ribosomal ITS and six plastid markers. Paris lihengiana is supported as a new species by both morphological characters and molecular data.

Two new Dactylellina (nematode-trapping fungi) species, D. yushanensis and D. cangshanensis from the burned forest soil in Cangshan Mountain, Yunnan Province, China are introduced in this paper based on morphology and phylogenetic analysis. Their descriptions and illustrations are provided. Dactylellina yushanensis is characterized by its geniculate branched conidiophore, two types conidia and fusiform, clavate or drop-shaped microconidia grown in conidiophore or produced by macroconidia with micro-cycle conidiation pathway. Dactylellina cangshanensis is characterized by its fusiform, spindle-shaped, clavate or drop-shaped conidia with 2-4-septate. Phylogenetic analysis based on combined ITS, EF1-α and RPB2 sequence showed that these two species cluster together with D. ellipsospora with obvious genetic differentiation.

Diaporthe sambucusii sp. nov and D. schisandrae sp. nov., collected from diseased branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Northeast China, Sambucus williamsii Hance and Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill, are herein described and illustrated. Recognition of the two new species are supported by both holomorphic morphology and phylogenetic analysis. Morphologically, D. sambucusii is distinguished by hyaline, aseptate, smooth, ovoid to subfusiform, biguttulate alpha conidia (7.0–9.5 × 2.0−2.5 μm) and beta conidia hyaline, aseptate, straight to hamate, 18.5–23.5 × 0.9–1.1 μm, similar to most species of Diaporthe. Diaporthe schisandrae is characterized by hyaline, aseptate, ellipsoidal to fusoid, somewhat tubercular at one end and obtuse at other, 1–3-guttulate alpha conidia (8.5–11.5 × 2.7−3.3 μm). Phylogenetic analysis using CAL, HIS, ITS, TEF1-α, and TUB molecular data shows that the isolates of the new species form two distinct clade within Diaporthe (MP/ML/BI=100/100/1).

Two new species of Chalciporus are described from southern China. Chalciporus citrinoaurantius sp. nov. is characterized by a lemon yellow to grayish orange pileus, light orange to rose pink tubes and elongated basidiospores (9.0)9.5–12.5(13) × 3–4(4.5) μm; C. hainanensis sp. nov. is characterized by small basidiomata with grayish yellow to brownish orange pilei, orange yellow to brownish orange tubes with brownish orange to brownish red pores and elliptic basidiospores 8–10.5(11) × 4–5(5.5) μm. Phylogenetic analysis based on the combined dataset (nrLSU+tef1-α+rpb2) confirmed the affinity of the new species in Chalciporus and indicated their relationships with other species within the genus.

Two new species of Hemimycale from Southeastern Brazil are described in this study with the use of morphological and molecular data. Hemimycale oxeata sp. nov. is orange salmon colored in life and has unique oxeote like tornote spicules in addition to the typical (subtylo-)strongyles of the genus. Hemimycale ceadensis sp. nov. is reddish orange in life and has raised, tiny pore sieves, and subtylostrongyles with asymmetrical ends and raphides as microscleres. The diagnosis of the genus Hemimycale was slightly modified for the inclusion of the new species. Maximum-Likelihood analyses of 18S rRNA and COI sequences resulted in the clustering of both new species with the type species of the genus, thus confirming our morphological identification. The value of anatomical characters of pore sieves for diagnosing species and the genus is discussed. A key for species identification is also furnished.

Two new species of Dentipellis are described from China based on morphological characteristics and molecular data. Dentipellis longiuscula is characterized by annual, resupinate hydnoid basidiomata with moderately long spines, rough basidiospores (5–6 × 3–3.6 µm) and absence of gloeoplerous hyphae and gloeocystidia. Dentipellis tropicalis is characterized by hydnoid basidiomata with numerous gloeocystidia presenting in hymenium, and minutely rough basidiospores (5–5.5 × 2.5–3.2 µm). Phylogenetic analysis based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and nuclear large subunit ribosomal (nLSU) RNA gene regions confirmed the affinity of the new species in Dentipellis and indicated their relationships with other species in the genus.

A new genus Arquatopotamon gen. n. of the family Potamidae Ortmann, 1896, is established and a new species, Arquatopotamon jizushanense sp. n. from Yunnan Province, China is described. The new genus is established based on the distinctive distal part of the male first gonopod, with arched-shaped subterminal and terminal segments (in mesioventral view) and female gonopores (vulvae) on thoracic sternites 5/6 and a combination of characters including the carapace and male telson, while it is similar to the five known genera in Yunnan Province and adjacent area, Tenuipotamon Dai, 1990, Pararanguna Dai & Chen, 1985, Trichopotamon Dai & Chen, 1985, Potamiscus Alcock, 1909 and Aparapotamon Dai & Chen, 1985, in having a third maxilliped exopod without a flagellum. Present molecular data based on a barcoding marker of 16S rDNA provide strong support for the genus as being new.
