A new species, Diaphanes pectinealis Li & Liang, from Gaoligong Mountains of Yunnan, Southwest China, is described. Individuals of this species are characterized mainly by the long and strongly pectinate antennae in males and the greatly developed and sclerotized incurved lobe along the dorsal inner margin of male parameres. The characters of the new species challenge the traditional generic diagnoses of Diaphanes and the limits between Diaphanes and its similar genus Pyrocoelia, and reinforce the necessity of a taxonomic revision on these two genera. The types are deposited in Kunming Institute of Zoology, Kunming, and Institute of Zoology, Beijing, the Chinese Academy of Sciences. A checklist of known Chinese Diaphanes species is provided.

A new Panaeolus species was collected on a lawn at the Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Southwest China and subjected to morphological and molecular analyses. Both macro- and micro-morphological features of the new species were described and compared with morphologically similar species in Panaeolus. The pileus has a distinctive reddish brown patch at the center. Phylogenetic analysis of nrITS data showed a distinct placement of the new species among the closest Panaeolus species, i.e. Panaeolus cyanescens (Berk & Broome) Sacc., Panaeolus cambodginiensis Ola’h & R. Heim, Panaeolus bisporus (Malençon & Bertault) Ew. Gerhardt and Panaeolus cyanescens var. bisporus (Malençon & Bertault) G. Moreno & Esteve-Rav. Both morphological features and phylogenetic data supported naming our taxon as a distinct new species in Panaeolus. Color photographs of basidiomata and micromorphological structures, a full description of the new species, and an updated phylogenetic tree to show the placement of the new species are provided.
