A New Species

Mahonia lancasteri (Berberidaceae) is described from cultivation as a new species from west-central Sichuan, China. A detailed description, distributional data and ecological information along with color photographs are provided. In addition, a comparison of M. lancasteri with morphologically similar species, as well as information about its introduction and history in cultivation, is presented. We also performed a phylogenetic analysis using five molecular loci (nuclear ITS, accD, ndhF, rbcL and psbA-trnH) to further determine the close affinities of M. lancasteri. The new species naturally occurs in sympatry with several other Mahonia species.

The genus Protubera includes gasteroid species. Its members are globally distributed in tropical, subtropical, and temperate areas, and presently, six species are recognized. In this paper, Protubera beijingensis from North China is described as a new species. Its morphological description and illustration are provided in detail and compared with morphologically similar species. A multigene phylogenetic analysis based on nLSU, atp6, and rpb2 sequences of the genus Protubera also identifies this organism as a new species within Protubera.

A New Species

During a survey of araneogenous fungi from Guizhou Province, China, a new species, Akanthomyces araneogenum, was isolated from a spider, Araneus sp. It differs from other Akanthomyces species by its spider host, Isaria-like conidiogenous structure, and mostly globose and smaller conidia (1.6–2.2 μm). Multi-locus (ITS, LSU, RPB1, RPB2 and TEF) phylogenetic analysis confirmed that A. araneogenum is distinct from other species. The new species is formally described and illustrated, and compared with similar species.

A New Species

Begonia leipingensis D. K. Tian, L. H. Yang & C. Li (2n = 30), a new species in Begonia sect. Coelocentrum from the limestone area of Guangxi, China. B. leipingensisis is easily distinguished from any other compound-leaved species in Begonia by its large variation in petiolule number and its unique spirally-arranged petiolule pattern, which has never been seen in Begoniaceae before and rarely seen even in other angiosperm taxa. Besides having non-overlapping flowering periods, it is clearly different from B. fangii, the most morphologically similar species in the same section and with the same chromosome number. In addition to its unique petiolule pattern, B. leipingensis has longer abaxial wings, shorter internodes, and usually larger leaves, leaflets and habit. Molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that B. leipingensis formed an independent lineage belonging to Sect. Coelocentrum. Morphological and phylogenetic evidence strongly supports this species as a new taxon in Sect. Coelocentrum of Begonia. B. leipingensis was assessed to be critically endangered based on criterion outlined by IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.

Inocybe griseorubida sp. nov. is described from Kerala State, India. A comprehensive description, photographs, and comparisons with phenetically similar species are provided. The nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), a portion of the nuclear ribosomal large subunit (nLSU) and a portion of the nuclear second-largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (rpb2) gene of this species were sequenced and analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis of rpb2 sequences confirmed both the novelty of the species and its placement within the Pseudosperma clade.

Amana baohuaensis is described and illustrated as a new species from Jurong City, Jiangsu Province, East China. The new species is morphologically similar to A. edulis, but differs from the latter by having three verticillate linear bracts, white or purple-red solitary flowers, and purplish-brown anthers. Phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear ITS, chloroplast matK and rps16 intron sequences confirmed that this new species is distinct from morphologically similar species.

A New Species

A new species of potamid freshwater crab, Geothelphusa makatao, is described from southwestern Taiwan, based on morphological characters and mitochondrial DNA evidence. The new species differs from close congeners, G. pingtung Tan & Liu, 1998, G. shernshan Chen, Cheng & Shy, 2005, and G. ancylophallus Shy, Ng & Yu, 1994 and a superficially similar species, G. albogilva Shy, Ng & Yu, 1994, in the structure of its ambulatory legs, thoracic sternum, male abdomen, and male first pleopods. The unique gene sequences of 16S rRNA and cytochrome oxidase I also support the recognition of this coastal population, which is isolated from other closely related species inhabiting montane areas. Except for G. makatao, the phylogenetic analysis showed that there are three additional hill subclades within the G. pingtung clade, G. shernshan, G. pingtung and the Liangshan subclade, situated in different watersheds of rivers or streams near the Central Range in the southwestern Taiwan.

A New Species

A new, probably endemic species, Orobanche mlokosiewiczii (Orobanchaceae) is described from Georgia, in the Greater Caucasus. The species grows near waterfalls, on slopes with thermo-hygrophilous subalpine tall herbaceous vegetation, and is exclusively parasitic of another endemic species: Aconitum cymbulatum. It is a graceful whitish or pale white-yellow plant, characterised by campanulate flowers and usually a very wide open throat of corolla. So far, for the Orobanche parasite on Aconitum (exlusively A. lycoctonum) only one species O. lycoctoni is known—occurring in the Cantabrian Mts. in Spain and in the Alps. A detailed description, diagnosis, illustrations, and comparison with possible related species (O. lycoctoni, O. krylowii, O. inulae, O. flava subsp. cicerbitae) are provided. We also present phylogenetic analysis, and nomenclatural notes about the above species, and a lectotype of O. inulae is designated. Moreover, inside the Orobanche sect. Orobanche, a new combination Orobanche subsect. Curvatae and a new series Orobanche ser. Krylowianae are proposed and their types are designated.

Orobanche javakhetica (Orobanchaceae) is described as a new, probably endemic, species from the Lesser Caucasus in Armenia. It grows on a subalpine meadow, where it parasitises Lomelosia caucasica (Dipsacaceae). The newly-described species is very characteristic and different from other known Orobanche, however some morphological similarity may exist with species from the Orobanche subsect. Curvatae, particularly with species of the Orobanche series Krylowianae. A detailed description, illustrations, a comparison with the most similar species with identification key, and phylogenetic analysis are provided.

A new species, Conogethes sahyadriensis sp. nov. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), feeding on cardamom, is described from India. The species status is supported by diagnostic morphology as well as by genetic data. A phylogenetic analysis based on the publicly available Conogethes COI barcode sequences finds C. sahyadriensis as sister to C. pluto, and it further reveals a number of clades that potentially represent additional undescribed species.The new species is delineated from closely related and superficially similar species of Conogethes.

Hedyotis hamiguitanensis, from Mt. Hamiguitan, Davao Oriental, Philippines, is described, illustrated, and compared with two similar species, H. whiteheadii and H. schlechteri. This species is distinguished from congeneric Philippine species by its 5–12 cm long, compound, umbellate inflorescences, pendulous flowers, lanceolate to oblanceolate, thick, scabrid leaf blades with revolute margins. Its phylogenetic systematic position within the tribe Spermococeae is determined with a phylogenetic analysis using chloroplast (rps16, petD) and nuclear ribosomal (ITS, ETS) nucleotide sequence data.
