Recently, we reviewed the specimens of the genus Rhopalopsole Klapálek, 1912 we have collected and checked the holotype and paratypes of Rhopalopsole duyuzhoui Sivec & Harper, 2008. We present morphological evidence that R. duyuzhoui is a junior synonym of Rhopalopsole basinigra Yang & Yang, 1995, and that R. basiningra is a new distribution record to Guizhou Province, southwestern China. Additionally, a new species of this genus from Guizhou Province, Rhopalopsole dicondylica Yang & Du, sp. nov. is described and illustrated. The new species is compared to the similar species of this genus.

A new species, Loxoblemmus rectilineus sp. n., collected from Yunnan, China was described and illustrated. Stephoblemmus with a species Stephoblemmus humbertiellus Saussure, 1877 was first reported from China (Yunnan and Xizang Prov.). Loxoblemmus nigriceps Chopard, 1933 is junior synonym of Stephoblemmus humbertiellus Saussure, 1877. All specimens are housed in Museum of Flora and Fauna, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi’an, China.

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.

Seventeen species of tardigrades were found in this study. All species are new records for Guizhou Province, including two new records for China (Echiniscus perviridis and Doryphoribius zappalai) and one (Doryphoribius huangguoshuensis sp. nov.) new for science. The new species differs from the most similar species of the genus Doryphoribius mainly by different configuration of gibbosities on dorsal side of the body (configuration 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2 in the new species; 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 in D. dupliglobulatus; 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2, 3 in D. gibber; 6, 4, 6, 4, 6,4, 4, 2 in D. zyxiglobus).

SummaryThe genus Thalictrum L. in New Guinea is revised based on morphological evidence. Full descriptions of the genus and the four taxa recognised are given. Two species are recognised: Thalictrum papuanum, widespread across New Guinea, and a new species described here; T. umbraticola, endemic to west New Guinea. Two new varieties are described: Thalictrum papuanum var. acutisegmentum and T. papuanum var. laticarpellum. One new synonym of Thalictrum papuanum var. papuanum is established: T. papuanum var. oranjense. Keys to the taxa and distribution maps, as well as preliminary conservation assessments, are provided.

From a biodiversity survey of a subterranean habitat near Sinan County, Guizhou Province, southwestern China, a new atyid shrimp of the genus Caridina H. Milne Edwards, 1837, C. sinanensissp. nov. was discovered. The new species can be separated from other congeners based on a combination of characters including depigmentation in body and reduction of eyes, small pigment spot at the centre of the cornea, the shape of rostrum and the endopod of the 1st male pleopod, and the relatively longer appendix interna on the appendix masculina of the 2nd pleopod. Mitochondrial COI and 16S rRNA gene sequences also support the establishment of the new species. Information on the habitat, and the levels of threat are discussed to guide the conservation of C. sinanensissp. nov.

A new species, Inonotus castanopsidis, is described from southwestern China on the basis of morphological characteristics and molecular evidence. It is characterized by having a perennial and resupinate to effused-reflected basidiomata with greyish yellow to lavender pore surface, a monomitic hyphal system with simple-septate generative hyphae, which are rarely branched, presence of both hyphoid and hymenial setae, and ellipsoid to subglobose, yellowish, thick-walled basidiospores. Detailed description with illustration is provided for the new species and its relationships with similar species are discussed.

A new species of Gesneriaceae, Petrocodon luteoflorus Lei Cai & F.Wen was first described and illustrated from Maolan National Nature Reserve, Libo County, Guizhou Province, China. The diagnostic characters and notes of this species between its most morphologically similar species, P. dealbatus Hance, a detailed description, colour photographs, etymology, as well as distribution and habitat, are also provided in this paper.
