A New Species

The family Botryosphaeriaceae encompasses important plant-associated pathogens, endophytes and saprobes with a wide geographical and host distribution. Two dark-spored botryosphaeriaceous taxa associated with Rhus typhina dieback and canker disease were collected from Ningxia Province, in northwestern China. Morphology and multigene analysis (ITS, LSU and EF-1α) clearly distinguished this clade as a distinct species in the genus. Phaeobotryon rhois is introduced and illustrated as a new species in this paper. The species is characterized by its globose, unilocular fruiting bodies and small, brown, 1-septate conidia. It can be distinguished from the similar species P. cercidis, P. cupressi, P. mamane and P. quercicola based on host association and conidial size and colour.

A New Species

Phyllachora species usually cause leaf tar spot disease associated with living leaves in various hosts. In this study, a sample of stem tar spot was collected from a Phyllostachys heteroclada forest in Ya’an City, Sichuan Province, China. Here we introduce a new taxon in the genus Phyllachora through using morphology, information on host and multigene phylogeny of three genes (LSU, SSU, ITS). Within the family Phyllachoraceae, members of the genus Phyllachora form five groups with maximum likelihood and Bayesian phylogenies. The new species Phyllachora heterocladae clusters with eight undetermined Phyllachora species in a highly supported clade and morphologically differs from other similar species in having relatively long asci with a noticeable apical ring, fusiform to ellipsoid ascospores with many guttules and a thick gelatinous sheath and botuliform or falciform spermatia with 1-septate or aseptate.

Specimens of 22 species of pycnogonids belonging to twelve genera and seven families were collected during a cruise near Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands. Twenty two of the 94 stations yielded pycnogonids: the new species Ammothea hesperidensis is described fully, illustrated, and compared with similar species. The family Nymphonidae provided both the greatest diversity of species (seven) and number of specimens (35). The most abundant species were Achelia hoekii and Nymphon australe.

Ophiocordyceps is entomopathogenic and the largest studied genus in the family Ophiocordycipitaceae. Many species in this genus have been reported from Thailand. The first new species introduced in this paper, Ophiocordycepsglobiceps, differs from other species based on its smaller perithecia, shorter asci and secondary ascospores and additionally, in parasitising fly species. Phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU, SSU, ITS, TEF1α and RPB1 sequence data indicate that O.globiceps forms a distinct lineage within the genus Ophiocordyceps as a new species. The second new species, Ophiocordycepssporangifera, is distinguished from closely related species by infecting larvae of insects (Coleoptera, Elateridae) and by producing white to brown sporangia, longer secondary synnemata and shorter primary and secondary phialides. We introduce O.sporangifera based on its significant morphological differences from other similar species, even though phylogenetic distinction is not well-supported.

Scientific Name

A new species of the genus Albula of the family Albulidae is described based on five specimens collected from Korea and Taiwan. Its new scientific name, Albula koreana sp. nov., is derived from its type locality (Korea). We compared Albula koreana sp. nov. with its similar species, A. argentea from Fiji (seven specimens), using morphological and molecular methods. Albula koreana sp. nov. differs morphologically from A. argentea in its tooth patch distributions on the mesopterygoids and parasphenoid. The tooth patches on the mesopterygoids are distributed more anteriorly than those on the parasphenoid in Albula koreana sp. nov. On the other hand, the anterior end of the tooth patches on the mesopterygoids almost corresponds to that of the tooth patches on the parasphenoid in A. argentea. The numbers of vertebrae also differ between the two species (77–78 in Albula koreana sp. nov. vs 72–73 in A. argentea). We analyzed 546 base pairs of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence, and the Albula koreana sp. nov. sequence differed considerably from that of A. argentea. Kimura’s genetic distances between them were very large (15.9%–16.4%), robustly supporting the new species Albula koreana sp. nov.

A New Species

A new species of Hydromedusa belonging to the genus Octocanna Haeckel 1879, here revived, is described from the coastal waters off Santos. The new species belongs to the family Phialuciidae, it is named Octocanna haeckeli sp. n. and differs from the other two species of the genus in being smaller, in having a high dome shaped umbrella, four tentacles, eight bulbs and eight marginal vesicles at sexual maturity. The genus Octocanna is here revived for Phialuciidae with eight radial canals, eight gonads, four or more tentacles and never more than four lips. The genus Octophialucium Kramp 1955 is considered valid for Phialuciidae with eight radial canals, eight gonads and eight lips. In the same series of samples, some specimens of Octophialucium bigelowi Kramp 1955 were taken which are very similar to Octocanna haeckeli but have eight lips, eight tentacles, rudimentary bulbs and a larger number of marginal vesicles at sexual maturity, which is reached at approximately the same umbrella size. The two similar species were taken in the same water mass at approximately the same time of the same year.

Members of Cryptosporella are well-known as common endophytes, and occasionally, as pathogens on a narrow range of hosts in Betulaceae, Tiliaceae and Ulmaceae. Two fresh specimens associated with canker and dieback of Betula platyphylla were made in Beijing, China in 2015. Morphological and multi-gene, combined, phylogenetic analyses (ITS, tef1-α and β-tub) support these speciemens as a distinct and new species of Cryptosporella, from a unique host, Betula platyphylla. Cryptosporella platyphylla sp. nov. is introduced with an illustrated account and differs from similar species in its host association and multigene phylogeny.

Fifty-nine species of pycnogonids belonging to sixteen genera and eight families were collected during a cruise near Livingston Island and surrounding waters, from depths between 0 and 1019 m. The new species Ammothea bentartica is described fully, illustrated and compared with similar species. The family Nymphonidae had both the greatest number of species (20) and number of specimens (67% of 1201). The most abundant species were Nymphon charcoti and N. australe. Nymphon paucidens and Pallenopsis buphtalmus were collected for a second time. The collections increased the geographical distribution of five species and the depth range of seven species. This collection appears typical of the West Antarctic zone.

Two recent voyages to the Ross Sea in 2004 and 2008 collected over 3000 benthic Amphipoda. The composition of 30 amphipod families is presented, and a focus is given to the family Epimeriidae from which a new species described. Epimeria larsi sp. nov. from 1950 m depth, is the deepest occurring species of the genus known from Antarctic waters. This increases the number of known species of Epimeriidae from Antarctica to 27. Epimeria larsi can be distinguished from similar species by the unique combination of following characters: coxa 5 posteroventral corner produced, epimeral plate posteroventral corner rounded, and coxa 1–3 apically rounded.

Recent taxonomic studies on the genus Wahydra Steinhauser, 1991, have described five new species in the past two years, from high elevations in the Andes Mountains. A markedly distinct species of Wahydra is herein described and illustrated based on a single male specimen from Ecuadorian Andes, Wahydra graslieae A. Warren, Carneiro & Dolibaina, sp. nov. The new species is compared with other species of Wahydra, as well as with the somewhat similar species Lerema viridis (Bell, 1942) and Tigasis viridenex (Weeks, 1901).

Morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses of an entomogenous fungus associated with larvae of Lepidoptera in Guizhou and Anhui, China showed it to be a new species, Metacordyceps neogunnii. It differs from similar species in having longer asci and wider ascospores. Multigene analysis of ITS, 18S, TEF1 and RPB1 sequence data also confirmed the distinctiveness of this species. This species has been wrongly regarded in China as ‘Cordyceps gunnii’ for more than 30 years. Cordyceps gunnii from Tasmania is considered to be in the family Ophiocordycipitaceae based on its multigene phylogeny and morphological analysis.
