A New Species

We describe a new species, Eurytoma caninae (Hymenoptera, Eurytomidae) from specimens collected in Morocco, France and Iran. The species emerges from galls of Diplolepis spp. (Cynipidae) on Rosa spp. (Rosaceae). It is common and widespread in the West Palearctic Region. It is closely related but morphologically differentiated from Eurytoma rosae Nees. To substantiate our morphological observations, two genes [cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and the internal transcribed spacer region 2 (ITS2)] of several individuals per population were sequenced. Both analyses clearly led to the conclusion that E. caninae and E. rosae are two well-differentiated and previously overlooked species. Morphological diagnostic characters are given to identify both species.

A new species of Trogia (Marasmiaceae, Basidiomycota) is described from West Bengal, India. Analysis of the molecular sequence (nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region) data suggests that T. benghalesis is phylogenetically distinct from its closely related species. Comprehensive description based on macro- and microscopic characters, photographs and comparisons with morphologically similar and phylogenetically related species are provided.

A New Species

A new species of Amanita subgenus Amanita sect. Vaginatae is described and illustrated based on material collected in pine forests in district Mansehra, Khyber Pakhtoonkhaw, Pakistan. Amanita mansehraensis is recognized by the presence of a light brown or light greyish olive pileus with strong brown or deep brown pileus center; non-appendiculate, rimose, sulcate or plicate striate pileus margin; subglobose to ellipsoid basidiospores; and a saccate volva. The internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) and large subunit of the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (nrLSU) were used for the delimitation of this species based on sequence data. The evolutionary relationships of A. mansehraensis with other species of Amanita were inferred by means of Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian inferences of the nrLSU dataset and concatenated ITS+nrLSU dataset. Amanita mansehraensis is most closely related to A. brunneofuliginea, A. pseudovaginata, and the recently described A. glarea.

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.

Leucocoprinus brunneosporus sp. nov., collected at the Santa Catalina Reserve (Buenos Aires, Argentina), is proposed as a new species. We performed separate phylogenetic analyses of the nuclear rDNA large subunit (28S) and the complete nuclear rDNA internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) to establish the placement of the new species in the phylogeny of the Agaricaceae. This new species has a macromorphology similar to that of Lc. birnbaumii, but the spore print is light brown. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of the macro- and microscopic characters are provided.

The European representatives of the pipunculid genus Chalarus are taxonomically revised. Chalarus absconditus Kehlmaier spec. nov., C. immanis Kehlmaier spec. nov., C. marki Kehlmaier spec. nov. and C. saxonicus Kehlmaier spec. nov. are described as new to science. Males of C. pughi Coe, 1966, C. clarus Jervis, 1992 and C. longicaudis Jervis, 1992 are characterized for the first time, as is the female for C. griseus Coe, 1966. A lectotype is designated for Chalarus velutinus Macquart, 1834 and the name is proposed for synonymy with C. spurius (Fallén, 1816). Chalarus parmenteri Coe, 1966 and C. perplexus Jervis, 1992 are proposed as junior synonyms of C. holosericeus (Meigen, 1824). The assignment of males and females is established through DNA barcodes, using fragments of the mitochondrial coding gene cytochrome oxidase subunit I (coxI) and nuclear Second Internal Transcribed Spacer region (ITS2). An identification key to the European representatives of the genus is provided, including figures of male and female terminalia for most species.

A new species of king crab is described from Taiwan, Lithodes formosae sp. nov. The new species resembles L. longispina Sakai, 1971, from Japan, L. megacantha Macpherson, 1991, from French Polynesia, and L. paulayi Macpherson & Chan, 2008, from Guam, in having long dorsal spines in adults, though it is most similar to L. paulayi. Lithodes formosae is distinguished from the aforementioned species primarily by differing branchial spine arrangement and proportional spine length. Comparison of partial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequences from L. formosae sp. nov., L. paulayi and L. longispina supports the specific status of the new species. Six species of Lithodidae are known from Taiwan, of which L. formosae sp. nov. is the first to be described as new from Taiwan.

A New Species

Inocybe distincta sp. nov. is described from Kerala State, India. A comprehensive description, photographs, line drawings and comments are provided. The nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), a portion of the nuclear ribosomal large subunit (nrLSU) and a portion of the nuclear second-largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB2) gene of this species were sequenced and analyzed. BLASTn searches using nrLSU and RPB2 sequences and subsequent ML phylogenetic analysis of combined nrLSU and RPB2 sequences confirmed that Inocybe distincta is a representative of the Nothocybe lineage. As the Nothocybe lineage is assumed to have affinities to I. cutifracta, and as there are different interpretations of that species, we examined the holotype of I. cutifracta collected by T. Petch and another collection from Sri Lanka identified as I. cutifracta by D. N. Pegler, and we present here our observations on these collections.
