Zhang, Y.F. Han & Z.Q. Liang sp. nov. ( Fig. 2 ) MycoBank No.: MB 818911, GenBank: KY026599 KY026600 Type: — CHINA . Hubei Province : Jingzhou City , N 30°21′27.37″ , E 112°19′58.37″ . Holotype GZUIFR-EB1303M was isolated from farmland soil by Y. R .Wang Colonies on PDA attaining 25 mm in 14 days at 26 °C, white, fluffy, round, margin regular; reverse light yellow; hyphae hyaline, smooth, 1.6–4.3 μm; racquet hyphae present, 8.6–15 × 3.2–6.5 μm. Terminal and lateral conidia mostly on short protrusions or on side branches, mostly solitary or forming chains, single-celled, occasionally twocelled, smooth-walled, oblong-ovate to oblong-ellipsoidal, 4.3–16.2 × 3.2–8.6 μm (x = 7.8 ± 1.1 × 5.6 ± 0.2, n = 50), sometimes clavate, 8.6–25.9 × 3.2–10.8 μm, with broad basal scars (0.8–5.4 μm). Intercalary conidia present, solitary, tubby to oblong-clavate, 4.3–32.4 × 2.2–7.6 μm (x = 15.8 ± 1.1 × 4.8 ± 0.2, n = 50). Chlamydospores absent. FIGURE 1. Phylogenetic tree of Chrysosporium spp. constructed from ITS-5.8S rDNA sequences. Statistical support values (Bayesian posterior probability/maximum likelihood bootstrap percentage) are shown at nodes. The tree was rooted by using Myceliophthora thermophila as outgroup. Etymology: —jingzhouense, referring to Jingzhou City in Hubei Province where the type locality is situated. Material examined: —The ex-type EB1303M and ex-isotype EB1301M were isolated from farmland soil in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province in March 2012 by Y.R. Wang. Samples were deposited in the Institute of Fungus Resource, Guizhou University (GZAC). Distribution: — Hubei Province , China .
