Wang et al. 9699 (holotype HKAS 131918).	en	Zeng, Zhao-Qing, Wang, Xiang-Hua, Zhuang, Wen-Ying (2024): New species and new Chinese record of Hypocreaceae from China.

CB3987C66D3BFFBD5EF1E1C7139FFCD8.taxon	description	Description: — Stromata simple, unbranched, clavate, 12 – 30 mm long; fertile part capitate, distinctly laterally wrinkled to surface nearly smooth, beige to light brown when fresh, yellow brown to olivaceous brown when dry, KOH –, 6 – 12 mm long, 4 – 8 mm wide at apex; sterile part narrower than the fertile part, light beige, 6 – 18 mm long, 1.5 – 2.5 mm wide. Stromatal surface faintly tuberculate due to papillate perithecial elevations. Ostiolar openings visible, 30 – 78 μm high, 40 – 69 μm diam. In section, cortical tissue of textura angularis to textura globulosa, 25 – 50 μm thick, cells hyaline to light brown, 2.5 – 8 × 2 – 6 μm; subcortical tissue of textura angularis, 12.5 – 38 μm thick, cells hyaline to light yellow, 5 – 10 × 2 – 4 μm; subperithecial tissue of textura angularis to epidermoides, cells hyaline to light yellow, 5 – 10 × 2 – 4 μm. Perithecia flask-shaped, subglobose to oblong, 255 – 343 μm high, 137 – 255 μm diam.; peridium 8.5 – 13 μm thick at flanks, 10 – 23 μm thick at the base. Papilla prominent, blunt to truncate, brown, 20 – 30 μm high, 40 – 69 μm wide. Asci cylindrical, containing 16 disarticulate part-spores, 65 – 88 × 2 – 4 μm. Part-ascospores hyaline, smooth, uniseriate, dimorphic, distal cells globose to subglobose, rarely oblong, 3 – 5 × 2.9 – 4 μm; proximal cells ellipsoidal to oblong, rarely subglobose, 3 – 5 × 2 – 3.1 μm. Asexual state unknown. Notes: — Among the stipitate species of this group, T. clavaticapitatum is similar to T. brevipes (Mont.) Samuels, H. capitata Samuels, T. pezizoides (Berk. & Broome) Samuels et al., and T. poronioideum (Möller) Samuels in having stromata with an expanded cap (Samuels & Lodge 1996, Chamberlain et al. 2004). Nevertheless, T. clavaticapitatum can be easily distinguished by its long, stipitate, erect stromata with a conspicuous head-like fertile part. Additionally, T. clavaticapitatum also resembles T. leucopus in gross morphology of fruiting bodies which are of erect stromata, that do not change colour in KOH, and its perithecia are flask-shaped or subglobose with a conspicuous ostiole, containing cylindrical asci and disarticulated ascospores (Chamberlain et al. 2004, Jaklitsch 2011). However, T. leucopus differs in having longer clavate stromata (20 – 41 mm long), smaller perithecia (200 – 310 μm high), and wider asci (3.3 – 5.3 μm wide). Sequence comparisons indicate that ITS of T. clavaticapitatum (HKAS 131918) differs from that of T. leucopus (CBS 122495) by 24 bp in a total length of 586 bp; RPB 2 and TEF 1 of the former differ from those of the latter by 51 bp and 80 bp, respectively, among 1127 bp and 317 bp.	en	Zeng, Zhao-Qing, Wang, Xiang-Hua, Zhuang, Wen-Ying (2024): New species and new Chinese record of Hypocreaceae from China.

Phytotaxa 650 (1): 93-102, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.650.1.8, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.650.1.8
CB3987C66D3DFFBC5EF1E7ED144AFCD8.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Hypocreopsis rhododendri was introduced by Thaxter (1922) based on specimens collected on stems and branches of Rhododendron maximum from North Carolina and Tennessee, USA early in 1888. Later it was discovered from UK, Eire and France (Ainsworth 2003). The morphology of the Yunnan collection fits well the original description of the species. In GenBank there is no available data from North American samples. The ITS sequence of the Chinese specimen is identical with those from UK provided by Grundy et al. (2012). Another species H. lichenoides is very similar in gross morphology, but has elongate ascospores with tapering ends (Thaxter 1922, Ainsworth 2003). The Oceanic H. amplectens is related in the ITS phylogeny (Fig. 2). The (2 –) 3 – 4 - spored asci and much longer multiseptate ascospores of H. amplectans makes it clearly distinguishable from H. rhododendri (Johnston et al. 2007).	en	Zeng, Zhao-Qing, Wang, Xiang-Hua, Zhuang, Wen-Ying (2024): New species and new Chinese record of Hypocreaceae from China.
