Multi-locus molecular phylogenetic analysis reveals two new species of (Bionectriaceae, Hypocreales).

has been previously accepted as a member of the Cordycipitaceae and currently it is considered a member of the Bionectriaceae. The substrates of were complex and varied, being mainly animal faeces. This study reports two new species of from Yunnan Province in south-western China.

Molecular Phylogeny and Morphology Reveal Cryptic Species in the Complex from Vietnam.

The complex, which is a special group in the genus , is rich in species diversity and is widely distributed in nature. Throughout the investigations of arthropod-pathogenic fungi in the national reserves and in Vietnam parks, collections of attacking lepidopteran pupae or larvae were located in the soil and on the leaf litter. The phylogenetic analyses of the combined nr, nr, , , and sequence data indicated that the fungal materials collected in Vietnam belonged to and two hidden species in the complex.

Phylogeny and Systematics of the Genus (Ophiocordycipitaceae, Hypocreales).

The taxonomy and phylogeny of the genus are herein revised based on the most comprehensive dataset to date. Two species-level phylogenies of were constructed: a single-gene phylogeny (ITS) of 35 accepted species and a multigene phylogeny (nr, nr, -, and ) of 27 accepted species. Three new species, sp.

Morphology and Phylogeny Reveal Five Novel Species in the Genus (Cordycipitaceae, Hypocreales) From Yunnan, China.

The current study was aimed to introduce five new species of from Yunnan, with morphological descriptions, illustrations, color photographs, phylogenetic placement, associated host, and a comparison with allied taxa. The five new species were morphologically distinct from all other species, and it was also suggested that they should differ from other species in the genus based on combined multigene analyses. Employing DNA nucleotide sequences of the nr, nr, α, , and , the five new species were recognized in the clade of by using molecular phylogenetic analyses, including five well-supported subclades: three new species, , and , were found in the subclade of , and two new species, and , were located in the subclade of .
