A New Species

During a study of Mycena s.l. in eastern China, a distinct species, Mycena yuezhuoi, was collected on the Jiaodong Peninsula. Mycena yuezhuoi has the following characteristics: a purple pileus, emarginate and white lamellae, elongated pip-shaped to cylindrical basidiospores, and cheilocystidia that are smooth or occasionally have an apical protrusion. The discovery of M. yuezhuoi provides new material for the study of Mycena sect. Calodontes, especially the M. pura complex. Although M. yuezhuoi closely resembles M. pura regarding macroscopic characteristics, it forms a monophyletic clade in phylogenetic trees that is distinct from clades in the M. pura complex. Moreover, the molecular phylogeny obtained from a combined analysis of multiple gene regions (ITS+RPB1+tEF1) supports the results of the morphological identification. We propose Mycena yuezhuoi as a new species based on morphological observations and phylogenetic analyses and provide line drawings, photos, descriptions, and comparisons with allied species.

A New Species

The notable difficulties in the morphological identification of phoma-like fungi have resulted in a poor understanding of the generic and species boundaries in this group of organisms. In most available mycofloristic and phytopathological studies, there is no reliable information on the distribution of certain nonspecialized phomoid species on cultivated crops or wild plants. Both the revision of existing data on the biodiversity and geographical distribution of phoma-like fungi associated with Asteraceae in Russia and the acquisition of new knowledge according to modern concepts of these fungi are therefore of great significance. The aim of this study was to identify phoma-like strains from Asteraceae based primarily on phylogenetic analyses of the sequences of four loci (ITS, LSU, TUB, RPB2) as well as on traditional morphological approaches. The resulting phylogenetic trees revealed six well-supported monophyletic clads corresponding to six genera in the family Didymellaceae: Ascochyta, Boeremia, Didymella, Neoascochyta, Nothophoma, and Stagonosporopsis. The isolates were identified as As. kamchatica, B. exigua, B. exigua var. forsythiae, B. exigua var. linicola, D. americana, D. glomerata, D. macrophylla, D. pinodella , D. pomorum, D. rosea, Ne. desmazieri, Ne. paspali, No. quercina, St. dennisii, and St. inoxydabilis. Ascochyta kamchatica sp. nov. was described as a new species. Three Didymella species ( D. pinodella from Cirsium arvense, D. rosea from Sonchus arvensis, and D. macrophylla from Taraxacum officinale), two Neoascochyta species (Ne. desmazieri from T. officinale and Ne. paspali from Achillea millefolium) and St. dennisii from T. officinale were the first records of these phoma-like fungi in Russia.

A New Species

Three endemic species of Xyris (Xyridaceae, Poales) are currently recognized in New Caledonia. A recent multivariate analysis of 18 morphological characters based on 129 specimens of Xyris from New Caledonia, supported by 10 anatomical and micromorphological observations, suggested that three species should be recognized in the New Caledonian archipelago. However, the three published names did not correspond to the three entities identified via the multivariate analyses. The results showed that Xyris neocaledonia Rendle was morphologically distinct but requires lectotypification, Xyris guillauminii Conert was indistinct from X. pancheri Rendle, and that a new morphologically distinct species required description. We therefore propose to clarify the taxonomy of the genus for New Caledonia, by designating a lectotype, making this synonymy and describing the new species. The new species, Xyris desquamatus J.R.Morel & Munzinger, sp. nov., has the remarkable feature of leaves that are shed as the plant senesces, and is reflected in the specific epithet for this new species. Line drawings are provided for the new species, along with colour photos for the three New Caledonian Xyris species and a distribution map. Three identification keys are provided, the first based on vegetative characters, the second on reproductive characters and the third on anatomical features of the leaf. Xyris desquamatus is preliminarily assigned an IUCN risk of extinction assessment of vulnerable.

A New Species

The Asian frog genus Megophrys is a diverse group of morphologically conserved, forest-dwelling frogs. The genus harbours highly localised species diversification and new species continue to be described on a regular basis. We examined the taxonomic status of a population of Megophrys frogs from the Hoang Lien Range in northern Vietnam and southern China previously identified as M. kuatunensis (subgenus Panophrys). Preliminary phylogenetic analyses using a fragment of 16S rDNA places the species in question within the Megophrys (subgenus Panophrys) species group, a primarily Chinese radiation within the genus. On the basis of morphological, molecular and bioacoustic data, we conclude that this population does not represent M. kuatunensis, or any known species in the genus. We herein describe this species of Megophrys as new. Known only from Sa Pa District, Lao Cai Province in Vietnam and Jinping County, Yunnan Province in China, the new species is likely to be threatened by ongoing deforestation in the region. We provide an updated species description of M. kuatunensis based on type specimens, and suggest that M. kuatunensis is likely to be restricted to eastern China.

A New Species

An Ascomycetous species was found from decaying woody stems in Guizhou, China. Morphologically, the fungus can be assigned well in Tremateia in having immersed ascomata, cellular pseudoparaphyses and muriform ascospores, but it differs from other species in having the 3–7 transverse septa ascospores surrounded by a gelatinous sheath. Phylogenetic analyses based on a concatenated dataset of ITS, LSU, SSUand TEF1-α sequence data indicated that the fungus belongs to the genus Tremateia, Didymosphaeriaceae, four taxa formed a monophyletic clade and represent the genus Tremateia with well supported. The new collection formed a distinct lineage and can be recognized as a new species. Therefore, a new species Tremateia murispora is introduced with detailed description and illustration, the notes on its morphologically and phylogenetically related taxa is provided.

During our studies of the genus Lepiota in northern Thailand we collected a putatively new species with a distinct morphology and ITS nrDNA profile from Chiang Mai Province. The new species, Lepiota condylospora, is characterized by the presence of reddish brown to brownish orange or brown squamules on the pileus surface, triangular basidiospores with two lateral knobs, and a hymenidermal pileipellis composed of broadly to narrowly clavate elements. Two genetically distinct species of Lepiota section Lilaceae having triangular spores with two lateral knobs are compared with L. condylospora: Lepiota fraterna, from Papua New Guinea, differs in having larger basidiospores and cheilocystidia; while L. cristata var. macrospora, from China, has bigger basidiomata. A full description, color photographs, line drawings and a phylogenetic tree to show the position of the new species are provided.
