A New Species

Crocus asymmetricus (Iridaceae) is described as a new species endemic to the southern part of the Anatolian diagonal in Turkey. It is phylogenetically related to C. vitellinus and morphologically to C. antalyensis, but differs from these species in showing an asymmetric corm and a single point of root emergence. Both C. antalyensis and C. asymmetricus are illustrated and compared in this paper. A Bayesian phylogenetic tree of the nuclear rDNA ITS region confirms the affiliation of C. asymmetricus to C. ser. Flavi, and its close relationship to C. vitellinus. A new identification key to the species of C. ser. Flavi occurring in Turkey is also presented.

A New Species

Crocus terzioghluii (Iridaceae) is described as a new species endemic to southwestern Anatolia, Turkey. It is related to Crocus babadagensis and differs from this species in having corm tunics with well-developed rings, and prominent stripes on outer segments, as well as in leaf number and flowering time. The corms and tunics of both species are illustrated. A phylogenetic tree obtained by Bayesian phylogenetic inference of the combined sequences of the nuclear rDNA ITS and ETS regions confirms the affiliation of C. terzioghluii to C. ser. Biflori and its close relationship to C. babadagensis. A microphotograph of the metaphase chromosomes (2n = 2x = 8) along with the idiogram and a leaf cross section of the new species are given.

A New Species

Sporophores of a newPsathyrellaspecies have been reported for the first time as growing at the base ofCladiummariscusculms in the Botanical Garden of the University of Calabria, Rende, Cosenza, southern Italy. The fungus was initially identified asP.thujina(=P.almerensis) by means of both ecology and macro- and microscopic characteristics of the basidiomes, then referred toP.cladii-mariscisp. nov. after extraction, amplification, purification and analysis of the rDNA ITS region. We came to this conclusion after comparing our specimen with the descriptions of the taxa available in the literature for the genusPsathyrella.

A new species of Bunium from Central Anatolia (Turkey), Bunium sivasicum (Apiaceae), is described and illustrated. The taxonomic affinities of the new species are determined by detailed morphological investigation and molecular phylogenetic study. Nuclear rDNA-ITS region sequences are used to reveal the phylogenetic relationship of the new species. It belongs to the sect. Elegantia and is related to Bunium simplex, B elegans and B. verruculosum. The differences between the new species and its allies are discussed. Pollen characteristics and fruit surface features of the new species are investigated. The anatomical structure of the fruit is given in detail. In addition, the geographical distributions of the Bunium sivasicum and related taxa in Anatolia are also mapped.

Sanghuangporus vitexicola (Hymenochaetales) is described as a new species based on collections made from Pingtung County, tropical South Taiwan. All studied basidiocarps grew on living trunks of Vitex negundo. This new species is characterized by having perennial, pileate basidiocarps; pore surface yellowish brown, pores 6–8 per mm; context 0.7–1.5 cm thick; setae ventricose to subulate, dark brown, 17–30 × 5–8 μm; basidiospores broadly ellipsoid, brownish, smooth, 4.2–4.8 × 3.2–3.7 μm, with 0.2–0.5 μm thick walls. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference phylogenies inferred from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of rDNA indicated that six strains of Sanghuangporus viexicola formed a monophyletic group which is sister to S. zonatus. An identification key to known species of Sanghuangporus is provided.

Suillus marginielevatus sp. nov. and S. triacicularis are reported from Himalayan moist temperate forests of Pakistan in association with conifers. Morphologically S. marginielevatus is close to S. sibiricus, S. granulatus and S. intermedius but it can be distinguished by uplifted pileus margin and curved stipe with no ring at all stages. Phylogenetic analysis of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region showed that this species form separate clade from other closely related Suillus species. Suillus triacicularis represents a new record for Pakistani mycobiota. Field photographs of fresh basidocarps and line drawings of microcharacters are provided along with phylogenetic tree.

Species Descriptions

Mushrooms with a thin-fleshed pileus that becomes plicate on opening, deliquescent lamellae and dark brown to blackish basidiospores are commonly called coprinoid mushrooms. The genusCoprinellusis one of the important lineages of coprinoid mushroom in the family Psathyrellaceae. Species-level taxonomy inCoprinellusis based mainly on the presence or absence and the structure of veil and cystidia on the pileus, of cystidia on the lamellae and on basidiospore morphology. In this study, four new species ofCoprinellus(Co.campanulatus,Co.disseminatus-similis,Co.pakistanicusandCo.tenuis) are described from Pakistan. Species descriptions are based on morphological and molecular data. Phylogenetic analyses based on nuc rDNA ITS region show that the new speciesCo.campanulatusandCo.disseminatus-similisare clustered in a clade including members of section Micacei;Co.tenuisfalls in a clade with members of section Domestici; andCo.pakistanicusrecovered in a separate clade adjacent to other recently described clades of genusCoprinellus. Morpho-anatomical descriptions of the new species and comparison with closely allied taxa are provided. With this study, the number of known species ofCoprinellusin Pakistan has reached eight.

A New Species

Entomopathogenic nematodes belong to the families of Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae. They are obligate and lethal parasites of insects that can provide effective control of some important pests of commercial crops. A total of 53 isolates of EPN were molecularly characterised (ITS region-based) in the present study. Most of the studied isolates belong to theSteinernemagenus and only few isolates belong to theHeterorhabditisgenus. The phylogenetic relations ofSteinernemaandHeterorhabditisspecies were analysed by utilising the maximum likelihood method. In theSteinernemaphylogenetic tree, 99 isolates formed five major, moderately or highly reinforced clades: clade I:affine-intermediumgroup; clade II:carpocapsae-siamkayai-tami-scapterisci; clade III:bicornutum-riobrave-thermophilum; clade IV:glaseri-arenarium-karii-longicaudum; and clade V:feltiae-schliemanni-kushidai-kraussei-oregonense. The BLAST analysis of the ITS region of the rDNA of the steinernematid isolate PAL10 showed a rather low similarity of 93% withS. vulcanicum(accession number: GU929442), supporting the possible designation of a new species. In theHeterorhabditisphylogenetic tree, 25 isolates formed three main clades: clade I:bacteriophora-argentinensis-hepialius; clade II:baujardi-sonorensis-amazonensis; and clade III:indica-brevicaudis-hawaiiensis. All five studied isolates ofHeterorhabditiswere identified asH. indicaandH. bacteriophora. In both phylogenetic trees, the intra-specific variability level was different among clades for some species. The description of the new species (PAL10 isolate) would need further morphometric characterisation, morphologically identification and cross-breeding studies.
