A New Species

Didymodon hengduanensis is described as a new species from the Hengduan Mountains in the provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan, China. It is characterized mainly by its lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate and appressed-incurved leaves when dry, acute leaf apices, recurved to revolute margins, the yellowish color in KOH, percurrent to subpercurrent costa, and marginal basal cells forming a distinctly differentiated area of smooth and transversely thick-walled cells. Drawings and light microscope photographs of the new species are provided. The principal characters that separate it from the most similar species are discussed.

A New Species

A new species, Inonotus castanopsidis, is described from southwestern China on the basis of morphological characteristics and molecular evidence. It is characterized by having a perennial and resupinate to effused-reflected basidiomata with greyish yellow to lavender pore surface, a monomitic hyphal system with simple-septate generative hyphae, which are rarely branched, presence of both hyphoid and hymenial setae, and ellipsoid to subglobose, yellowish, thick-walled basidiospores. Detailed description with illustration is provided for the new species and its relationships with similar species are discussed.

A New Species

To date, some species in the genus Thyreophagus, such as Th. entomophagus and Th. cracentiseta, have been shown to be useful factitious prey for mass-rearing of predacious phytoseiid mites, one of the most common groups of mites used for biological control. Here, we describe a new species, Thyreophagus plocepasseri sp. n. from Kenya that can serve as a factitious prey as well. In addition, the new species is asexual, a trait that can be advantageous for its mass-rearing in industrial settings. In the description, we use high-resolution light microscope imaging and extensive comparison with a similar species, Thyreophagus athiasae, for which the type was studied. We review the literature on asexual acarid mites and point to a lack of data on the presence of sex-manipulating bacteria (Wolbachia, Cardinium) in these asexual mite lineages. Based on the literature, these bacteria are known to induce parthenogenesis in several haplodiploid mites, but they have not been linked so far to parthenogenesis inducement in diplodiploid acarid mites.

A New Species

A new species Mensularia rhododendri is described from southwestern China on the basis of both morphological characters and molecular evidence. Phylogenetic analysis based on nuclear large subunit (nLSU) ribosomal RNA gene shows that the new species belongs to Mensularia. Morphologically, the new species is mostly similar to Mensularia hastifera by sharing similar hymenial setae and basidiospores in shape and size. However, M. rhododendri differs in smaller pores (5–6 per mm), thinner fruit body (up to 2.5 mm), shorter and unbranched hyphoid setae (up to 110 µm long) present in trama only, basidiospores not collapsed, and growth on Rhododendron in nearly the timber line of southwest China, while M. hastifera has relatively larger pores (3–4 per mm), thicker fruit body (up to 10 mm), longer and sometimes branched hyphoid setae (up to 300 µm long) frequently present in both trama and dissepiments, and mostly collapsed basidiospores, and occurs mostly on Fagus in the temperate area of Central Europe. The morphological differences between M. rhododendri and other similar species of Mensularia are also compared.

A New Species

A species with an annulus is rare within Amanita section Vaginatae. In this study, A. annulata is proposed as a new species based on morphological and molecular evidence. It is the second annulate species of the section in China, the first being A. cingulata. The new species is found in forests dominated by Fagaceae in Yunnan Province of China. It is characterized by its large basidioma, white pileus covered with large, white, dingy yellow-tipped pyramidal warts that break off easily, a stipe with a mealy, evanescent, white annulus, the base of the stipe covered with concolorous pyramidal warts, and broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid basidiospores measuring 11−15 × 9−12 μm. Moreover, it is compared with similar species, especially the annulate taxa of Amanita section Vaginatae.

Salvia subviolacea Y.K.Wei & Pendry, a new species from China, is described. Salvia subviolacea belongs to Salvia subg. Glutinaria (Raf.) G.X.Hu, C.L.Xiang & B.T.Drew, sect. Eurysphace E.Peter, and is distinguished from morphologically similar species by differences in its habit, leaves, inflorescences and flowers. It has a disjunct distribution in Sichuan and Xizang, and its IUCN Red List conservation assessment is Endangered. The Xizang population is under extreme threat and rapid conservation measures need to be taken.

Recently, we reviewed the specimens of the genus Rhopalopsole Klapálek, 1912 we have collected and checked the holotype and paratypes of Rhopalopsole duyuzhoui Sivec & Harper, 2008. We present morphological evidence that R. duyuzhoui is a junior synonym of Rhopalopsole basinigra Yang & Yang, 1995, and that R. basiningra is a new distribution record to Guizhou Province, southwestern China. Additionally, a new species of this genus from Guizhou Province, Rhopalopsole dicondylica Yang & Du, sp. nov. is described and illustrated. The new species is compared to the similar species of this genus.

A New Species

We present the description of Phrynus calypso sp. nov. from Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela This species is very similar to Phrynus pulchripes (Pocock), however after examining Colombian specimens of P. pulchripes (ca. type locality), many differences were found. Characters commonly used in diagnosis of Phrynus species are variable and make identification difficult. Differences in a few structures, like pedipalpal spines, could not be enough to provide a useful diagnosis.  It is necessary to account for variation of similar species in conjunction, and select non overlapping groups of characters. Observations in the variation in both species are presented, pointing out sources of confusion, and suggesting alternative characters to support diagnoses. At the moment, details about variation in many species in Phrynus, like that of P. pulchripes, are poorly known, and for this reason a redescription is provided.

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.
