A New Species

A new species of Pistacioxylon, Pistacioxylon leilaoensis Cheng et al., showing affinities with Pistacia of the Anacardiaceae is described from the Miocene of Leilao, Yuanmou Basin, Yunnan Province, southwest China. It provides data for reconstructing the phytogeographic history of Pistacia and the paleoenvironment of the Yuanmou Basin. This fossil suggests a long history of exchange of various taxa including Pistacia between Europe and East Asia during the Tertiary.

The powder post beetles (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) (except Lyctinae) of Yunnan Province in Southwest China are reviewed for the first time. Keys to twenty-six genera and fifty-two species from the Yunnan region are provided. One new genus and seven new species are described: Dinoderus (Dinoderastes) hongheensis sp. nov., Dinoderus (Dinoderastes) nanxiheensis sp. nov., Gracilenta yingjiangensis gen. nov., sp. nov., Calonistes vittatus sp. nov., Calophagus colombiana sp. nov., Xylodrypta guochuanii sp. nov. and Xylodrypta zhenghei sp. nov.. Fourteen species are recorded in China for the first time. The bostrichid fauna of Yunnan is compared with those of the neighbouring bio-geographically related Southeast Asian and Himalayan regions. The fauna has a close affinity with that of tropical Southeast Asia and a much weaker relationship with the Palearctic region. The differences with the Himalayas may reflect the separate evolutionary and complex geological history of the two areas.

A New Species

Meiogyne oligocarpa sp. nov. (Annonaceae) is described from Yunnan Province in Southwest China. It is easily distinguished from all previously described Meiogyne species by the possession of up to four carpels per flower, its bilobed, sparsely hairy stigma, biseriate ovules and cylindrical monocarps with a beaked apex. A phylogenetic analysis was conducted to confirm the placement of this new species within Meiogyne. Meiogyne oligocarpa represents the second species of Meiogyne in China: a key to the species of Meiogyne in China is provided to distinguish it from Meiogyne hainanensis. Paraffin sectioning was undertaken to study the anatomy of the corrugations on the inner petals of Meiogyne oligocarpa to verify whether they are glandular.

A New Species

Zhu et al. (1997) erected the tetragnathid genus Wolongia to accommodate Wolongia guoi Zhu, Kim & Song, 1997 and Wolongia wangi Zhu, Kim & Song, 1997 collected from the Sichuan and Shaanxi Provinces in China. In 2009, Ping et al. described Wolongia odontodes from the Gaoligong Mountains and remained with a nominal representation after the erection of the genus. This situation was somewhat rectified by Jin-long Wan & Xian-jin Peng (2013) reporting seven new species from the Gaoligong Mountains (Yunnan Province, southwest China). The genus currently with ten nominal species; three are known only from females, while seven are from both sexes (World Spider Catalog 2017). During our survey in Pathiramanal Island we found an undescribed Wolongia species. This is one of the most diverse areas of the Kerala state of Southern India, situated in the Vembanad Lake, a Ramsar Convention (2013) site (wetland of international importance). In this paper, we describe this new species and provide the first report of Wolongia from India.

Four species of the araneid spider genus Eriovixia are reported from the Gaoligong Mountains (Yunnan Province, southwest China), including a new species: Eriovixia sticta n. sp., and three known species: E. excelsa (Simon, 1889), E. pseudocentrodes (Bösenberg & Strand, 1906) and E. yunnanensis (Yin et al., 1990). E. excelsa is first recorded from Chinese Mainland, while the males of both E. pseudocentrodes and E. yunnanensis are described for the first time, and the male of E. pseudocentrodes described before is actually the male of E. sticta n. sp. Distributional data and illustrations of somatic and genitalic morphology are provided. The differences between these four species and related taxa are discussed.

A New Species

Paris Linnaeus (1573: 367) is a temperate genus of about 27 species of perennial herbs distributed in Eurasia (Li 1998, Ji et al. 2007). Most species are restricted to East Asia, chiefly to China (19 species), with the Yunnnan-Guizhou Plateau in southwest China as the centre of species diversity (Li 1998). Paris is well known in China for its medicinal value. Those species with a thick rhizome have been used as medicinal herbs for more than 2,000 years in China owing to its analgesic, haemostatic, anti-tumor, and anti-inflammatory activities (Long et al. 2003). More than 40 commercial drugs and health products have been developed in China with Paris used as raw material (Li et al. 2015).

Isodon delavayi (Lamiaceae), a new and distinct species found in Mt. Yangyu of Yunnan Province, is described and illustrated. It is similar to I. scoparius and I. pharicus, but differs from the former by its much branched and shorter stems, entire leaves, and ovate-triangular calyx lobes, and from the latter by its entire and glabrous leaves, obsolete petiole, and less flowered cymes. Microfeatures of leaf epidermis, pollen grains, and mericarps of the new species are also presented.

A New Species

This paper describes a new species of fossil wood, Wataria yunnanica Li et Oskolski, from the Dajie Formation of the middle Miocene in southern Yunnan province, China. This species shows the greatest similarity to the modern genus Reevesia Lindl. from the subfamily Helicteroideae of Malvaceae. The fossil specimen is ascribed to the genus Wataria Terada & Suzuki based on its combination of ring-porous wood and the presence of tile cells. It differs from other Wataria species because vessel groups are common in its latewood. This is the first record of Wataria in China. Other species of this genus have been reported from Oligocene and Miocene deposits in Japan, and from Miocene deposits in Korea. The occurrence of ring-porous wood in the Dajie Formation suggests that there may have been a seasonal (probably monsoonal) climate in southern Yunnan during the middle Miocene.

Oricymba gongshanensis sp. nov. is identified as a new cymbelloid species, and described from a rock wall in Gongshan County, Yunnan Province, China. A detailed morphological description of the new species is presented, based on light and scanning electron microscopy. O. gongshanensis sp. nov. has the features that assign it to the genus Oricymba, including a thickened ridge positioned around the margin of the valve, presence of pore fields at the apices, a stigma with a single opening externally and two openings internally together with external distal raphe ends deflected dorsally. There are three features that easily distinguish the new species from all others in the genus. They include: 1) valves that are weakly asymmetrical about the apical axis, 2) presence of mostly biseriate striae and 3) areolae that are round to elliptical in shape. Among the currently described species of Oricymba, the new species is most similar to O. tianmuensis in valve shape, but is easily distinguished by the degree of asymmetry about the apical axis and presence of biseriate striae. These findings increase our understanding the morphology and distribution of the genus Oricymba in China.

A New Species

A new Seifertia species was isolated from hanging rachides of Rhododendron decorum in Yunnan Province, Southwest China. The new taxon was compared with the type species, S. azalea and differs in having wider conidiophores, with hyaline to subhyaline and smaller conidia, while S. azalea has olive-brown to brown, rarely branched conidiophores, and pale brown or olive-brown, very rarely septate conidia. Phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU, SSU and TEF1-α sequence data show that S. shangrilaensis forms a robust clade with S. azalea nested among the species of Melanommataceae in the order Pleosporales. A new species, S. shangrilaensis is introduced in this study, and Seifertia should be placed in Melanommataceae (Pleosporales, Dothideomycetes) based on phylogenetic analysis. Description and illustration of Seifertia shangrilaensis are provided with notes and its introduction is supported by molecular data.
