A new species of Gymnopus sect. Androsacei, namely, G. pallipes is described and illustrated based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic evidence. It is characterized by marasmioid basidiomata, a dark brown to reddish brown pileus becoming dull white to yellowish grey with age, whitish to pale yellow stipe and presence of rhizomorphs. Phylogenetic analyses support it as a new species within Gymnopus sect. Androsacei. The detailed morphological description, colour photos of basidiomata, and line drawings of microcharacters are presented and delimitation characters from similar species are discussed. A key to the known species of Gymnopus s. str. from China is also provided.

Two taxa of Amomum (Zingiberaceae), Amomum erythranthum and Amomum ampliflorum, from Putao, Kachin State of Northern Myanmar are described and illustrated as new to science. Amomum erythranthum is morphologically similar to A. subulatum and A. nimkeyense in having similar yellow flowers, but can be distinguished by its reddish floral tube, red anther connective, red and pubescent fruit. Amomum ampliflorum is similar to A. maximum, A. dealbatum and A. odontocarpum in white flower, but differs in its longer inflorescence and much larger flower. Two species, Amomum pauciflorum and Wurfbainia microcarpum are recorded for the flora of Myanmar for the first time. Data on ecology, phenology, distribution, conservation status, similarities to the related taxa, as well as colour photographs and line drawings of the type, and voucher specimens are provided for all reported taxa.

A new species of Afroboletus, namely A. sequestratus, is described from Zambia. Evidence from molecular phylogenetic analyses using sequences rpb1, rpb2 and tef1α and morphological comparison support its placement in Afroboletus and it is distinct from the other related members of this genus in Africa. It is the first species with sequestrate basidiomata in the genus. A morphological description is augmented with line drawings and SEM images for the species.

Species of Clavaria (Clavariaceae, Agaricales) collected from China were studied using morphological and molecular methods. Two species, C. griseolilacina and C. sinensis were described as new species; both possess branched and pale purple-tinged fruit bodies. However, the former possess a few branched, while the latter is profusely branched. The phylogenetic analysis based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences confirmed the distinctions between these two new species and their close relationships with C. rubicundula and C. fumosa in the genus. An evolutionary tendency in genus Clavaria was discussed. Additionally, morphological features of the two new species were described in detail and were illustrated with line drawings and photographs. Holotypes of the new species are deposited in the Mycological Herbarium of Hunan Normal University (MHHNU). The ITS sequences generated in this study were deposited in GenBank. A key is provided for the known Clavaria species in China.

The taxonomy of the genus Clytra Laicharting, 1781 occurring in China is studied. Two new species are described: Clytra (Clytraria) tanae sp. nov. from Qinghai and Yunnan, and Clytra (Clytraria) truncatula sp. nov. from Xinjiang. The Chinese fauna of the genus is thus increased to 13 species/subspecies in total. Keys to the Chinese genera of Clytrini and to Chinese species of Clytra are provided in addition to color plates and line drawings of habitus, maxilla, labium, male genitalia and spermatheca, which facilitates species identification; geographic distributions of 12 species/subspecies are mapped. The type specimens are deposited in Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China.

We describe 22 new species in the genus Hyphantrophaga Townsend, 1892 (Diptera: Tachinidae) from Area de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG) in north-western Costa Rica. All species were reared from an ongoing inventory of wild-caught caterpillars spanning a variety of families (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae, Crambidae, Depressariidae, Doidae, Erebidae, Euteliidae, Gelechiidae, Geometridae, Hedylidae, Hesperiidae, Immidae, Lasiocampidae, Limacodidae, Megalopygidae, Mimaloniidae, Noctuidae, Nolidae, Notodontidae, Nymphalidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Phiditiidae, Pterophoridae, Pyralidae, Riodinidae, Saturniidae, Sphingidae, Thyrididae, Tortricidae and Zygaenidae). We provide a morphological description of each species together with information on life history, molecular data and photographic documentation. In addition to the new species, we provide a redescription of the genus, as well as the redescription of three previously described species, which were also collected within ACG during this study: Hyphantrophagaangustata (van der Wulp), Hyphantrophagamyersi (Aldrich) and Hyphantrophagavirilis (Aldrich & Webber). The following 22 new species of Hyphantrophaga are described: Hyphantrophagaadrianguadamuzi Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagaalbopilosa Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagaanacordobae Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagacalixtomoragai Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagacalva Fleming & Wood sp. n.., Hyphantrophagaciriloumanai Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagadanausophaga Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagadiniamartinezae Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagaduniagarciae Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagaedwinapui Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagaeldaarayae Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagaeliethcantillanoe Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagagilberthampiei Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagaguillermopereirai Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagahazelcambroneroae Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagaluciariosae Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagamanuelriosi Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagamorphophaga Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophaganigricauda Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagaosvaldoespinozai Fleming & Wood sp. n., Hyphantrophagapabloumanai Fleming & Wood sp. n. and Hyphantrophagasimilis Fleming & Wood sp. n. The following are proposed by Wood as new synonyms of Hyphantrophaga Townsend, 1892: Brachymasicera Townsend, 1911 syn. n., Ommasicera Townsend, 1911 syn. n., Ophirosturmia Townsend, 1911 syn. n., Patillalia Curran, 1934 syn. n. and Ypophaemyiops Townsend, 1935 syn. n. The following nine new combinations are proposed as a result of the new synonymies: Hyphantrophagaadamsoni (Thompson, 1963), comb. n., Hyphantrophagafasciata (Curran, 1934), comb. n., Hyphantrophagaglauca (Giglio-Tos, 1893), comb. n., Hyphantrophagagowdeyi (Curran, 1926), comb. n., Hyphantrophagamyersi (Aldrich, 1933), comb. n., Hyphantrophaganigripes (Townsend, 1928), comb. n., Hyphantrophagaoptica (Schiner, 1868), comb. n., Hyphantrophagapolita (Townsend, 1911), comb. n., Hyphantrophagasubpolita (Townsend, 1912), comb. n.
