A new anamorphic genus and species, Mesocorynespora sinensis collected on decaying culms of bamboo in China, is described and illustrated. The fungus is distinguished by short, unbranched, clavate conidiophores with monotretic, conidiogenous cells that produce solitary, acrogenous, obclavate, euseptate conidia. A key to Mesocorynespora and morpholo...

A new anamorphic species, Corynesporopsis hainanensis , is described and illustrated from dead bamboo culms collected in the tropical mountain rainforest of Jianfengling, Hainan, China. The fungus is characterized by its terminal monotretic conidiogenous cells with catenate, obclavate, brown to pale brown, smooth, (3–)5–6(–10)-euseptate conidia. A...

To elucidate the composition of semiochemicals of Apriona germari and its function in sexual communication, GC-MS was used to detect the composition of semiochemicals of the overall body and the end abdominal tissue extracts in A. germari. Y-tube olfactometer was used to determine the olfactory response of adult female and male to the standard comp...

A new species, Cacumisporium fusiforme, is described and illustrated from a specimen collected on dead branches of an unidentified broadleaf tree in Jiangxi, China. The fungus differs from other described Cacumisporium species in its conidial shape and size. A key to Cacumisporium species is provided.
Article
Specimens of Linkosia longirostrata, Spadicoides klotzschii, and S. sylvatica were collected on dead branches of unidentified plants and identified as new records from China. They are described and illustrated based on the Chinese material. Keys are also provided to Linkosia and Spadicoides species recorded from China.

... In recent years, Distoseptispora species have been reported worldwide, such as in China, Hungary, Hawaii, Malaysia, and Thailand (Shoemaker and White 1985;McKenzie 1995;Wu and Zhuang 2005;Zhang et al. 2022). Studies on Distoseptispora have been particularly extensive in China and Thailand (Hyde et al. , 2019Su et al. 2016;Yang et al. 2018Yang et al. , 2021Luo et al. 2019;Sun et al. 2020;Hu et al. 2023). To date, 73 species of Distoseptispora have been documented, of which 55 have been recorded in China (including known species, see Table 2). ...
... There are many kinds of fungi in Jiangxi Province, and the fungal groups are complex. Relevant studies have shown that several mycological investigations are also constantly exploring and enriching the fungal diversity (e.g., [12,[43][44][45][46]). In this study, we isolated plant pathogens from diseased leaves of a wide range of plant hosts in Jiangxi Province, China. ...
... Recently, two additional torula-like genera, Cylindrotorula and Rutola, have been added to the family (Crous et al. 2020;Boonmee et al. 2021). Qiu et al. (2022) combined Rostriconidium and Sporidesmioides into the Neopodoconis based on morphology and phylogeny. Currently, Torulaceae comprises six genera, viz. ...

... Comments − Endophragmiella Sutton, is characterised by numerous, successive extensions of the conidiogenous cell and rhexolytic conidial secession, and thin-walled, septate or unicellular conidia (Sutton 1973b (Hughes 1979;Holubová-Jechová 1986;Castañeda-Ruiz et al. 1995;Li et al. 2018;Ma et al. 2021), produce aseptate conidia, and are thus similar to E. pseudostromatica. However, these species vary in conidial colour, shape, and size, and also, E. albiziae (M.B. ...
... & P. Syd. in having branched conidia. However, Teratosperma species have conidia with a lateral branch arising from the basal cell (Ellis 1957, Wu & Zhuang 2005, Kirschner & al. 2019, Xu & al. 2021, while E. sporoprolifera has dimorphic conidia with obclavate and Y-shaped which branches arising from suprabasal cells. Furthermore, E. sporoprolifera occasionally has the production of secondary conidiophore. ...
... Actually, the genus possesses 38 accepted species (Espinoza et al. 2020, Shi et al. 2020 recorded from temperate, subtropical and tropical regions of the Southern and Northern Hemispheres (Réblová et al. 2020). Species are frequently encountered in ecosystems where decaying wood and leaves are present (Castaneda-Ruiz 1985, Koukol & Kolárová 2010, Espinoza et al. 2020) playing a crucial role in the natural environment by facilitating nutrient cycling. ...

... They are essential components in forest ecosystems and play important roles in decomposition and nutrient recycling, but their geographical distribution and alpha taxonomy are poorly studied. Our group has investigated saprobic hyphomycetes for about 17 years during which many new genera and species have been named (e.g., Zhang & Shi 2005, Zhang & al. 2009Xia & al. 2015;Ma & al. 2016Ma & al. , 2021Zhang 2018;Xu & al. 2019Xu & al. , 2020. Our continuing survey of saprobic hyphomycetes from dead branches in Guangdong Province, China, revealed a previously undescribed species, proposed here as Zasmidium sinense. ...
