6A6B5F71B22E8747FF57FC9DFD2DF920.taxon	description	When cultured at 23 C on non-nutrient agar with E. coli, sorocarps (Fig 1 A – B) white, typically clustered, erect or semi-erect, usually branched, and sometimes with secondary branches arising from existed branches to give a clustered appearance. Sorophores sinuous, white, generally consisting of one or two tiers of cells, mostly 1.2 – 4.4 mm high, 7.5 – 20 μm diam. Bases (Fig 1 F – H) recurved, tips (Fig 1 E) clavate or obtuse. Sorophores tapering from the hooks to both tips and bases. Sori white, globose, commonly 70 – 175 μm diam. Spores (Fig 1 D) hyaline, oblong to oval, commonly 3.8 – 7.5 × 3.3 – 5.2 μm, with prominent polar granules. Cell aggregations (Fig 1 C) with indefinitely radiate streams, producing one to several sorogens. Sorogens colorless. Pseudoplasmodia do not migrate. Etymology. Referring to the recurved bases of sorophore. Holotype. HMJAU MR 062. Isolated in 2009 from forest soil (Strain 0080 – 4 from mixed forest soil, 861 m elevation; Strain 0084 – 4 from coniferous forest soil, 766 m elevation; Strain 0085 – 5 from coniferous forest soil, 761 m elevation) collected in the Wangqing National Nature Reserve, Jilin Province, China in the same year. Known distribution. China. Commentary. Sorocarps of Dictyostelium recurvibasicum closely resemble those of another clustered dictyostelid — D. monochasioides H. Hagiw. (Raper 1984). This species is clearly distinguishable from D. monochasioides in the following four respects. First, sorocarps of D. recurvibasicum are rarely solitary and mostly erect or semi-erect, whereas those of D. monochasioides are solitary or gregarious and erect or inclined. Second, the sorophores of D. recurvibasicum consist of one or two tiers of cells. However, the sorophores of D. monochasioides are delicate, consisting of single tier of cells except for the bases. Third, D. recurvibasicum has hook-like sorophore bases, this is the primary difference from D. monochasioides and other species of Dictyostelium. Last, the spores of D. recurvibasicum are oblong to oval. They are slightly rounder and smaller than those of D. monochasioides (spores are elliptical 2.8 – 3.8 × 4.4 – 6.4 μm to elongate ellipsoid or recurved 3.4 – 4.6 × 7.6 – 9.6).	en	Liu, Pu, Li, Yu (2017): Dictyostelids from Jilin Province, China II.

6A6B5F71B22E8744FF57F8C5FD4BF83F.taxon	description	Cultures examined. HMJAU MR 055. Strain 0075 – 4 isolated in 2009 from mixed forest soil (855 m elevation) collected in the Wangqing National Nature Reserve, Jilin Province, China, in the same year. Known distribution. Nepal and China. Commentary. From the original report (Hagiwara 1983) of this species, the soil samples for dictyostelid isolation were collected in open forests of the temperate zone at relatively high elevations, at about 1900 - 2610 m. However, in the present study, the soil samples were collected at a lower elevation (about 855 m) in a middle-temperate zone, which shows that this species is affected less by elevation.	en	Liu, Pu, Li, Yu (2017): Dictyostelids from Jilin Province, China II.

Strain 0081 – 2 isolated in 2009 from mixed forest soil (861 m elevation) collected in the Wangqing National Nature Reserve, Jilin Province, China, in the same year. Known distribution. U. S. A., Canada, Germany, England, France, Denmark, Switzerland, Japan, New Guinea, Nepal, Uganda, Ukraine, Korea, and China. Commentary. Dictyostelium brefeldianum is a medium-sized cosmopolitan species that is often prostrate and strongly phototropic. This study extends its worldwide distribution in China.	en	Liu, Pu, Li, Yu (2017): Dictyostelids from Jilin Province, China II.

Strain 0073 – 4 isolated in 2009 from a broadleaf forest soil (365 m elevation), collected in Wangqing National Nature Reserve, Jilin Province, China, in the same year. Known distribution. U. S. A., Guatemala, Japan, and China. Commentary. Polysphondylium tenuissimum is characterized by a large number of whorls, short branches, and small sori. Spores of this species, based on the isolate obtained in the present study, are slightly larger than the original report of 5.0 – 6.2 × 2.7 – 3.5 μm (Hagiwara 1989).	en	Liu, Pu, Li, Yu (2017): Dictyostelids from Jilin Province, China II.
