Abstract

During a survey of ascomycetes in southwestern China, three new bambusicolous fungi were collected and identified as members of the genera Neolinocarpon and Vamsapriya . The newly identified species are designated Neolinocarpon bambusicola sp. nov. , Vamsapriya tongluobaensis sp. nov. , and V. zhaotongensis sp. nov. , delineated through an analysis of both morpho-anatomical characteristics and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses based on ITS, LSU, rpb2 , and tub2 sequence data. The distinction of these species from their known counterparts was verified through comparisons of morphological characters and phylogenetic analyses. Comprehensive morphological descriptions, illustrations, and a phylogenetic tree showing the placement of the new taxa are provided.
