Morphological characteristics and phylogenetic evidence reveal two new species and the first report of (Pleosporaceae, Pleosporales) on dicotyledonous plants from China.

Two novel species were identified from dicotyledonous plants ( sp. and ) in China. The results were supported by morphological characters and Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI) analyses.

A new species of Ricker, 1943 (Plecoptera, Chloroperlidae) from southwestern China, with an updated key to male species.

A new species of the genus Ricker, 1943 (Plecoptera, Chloroperlidae), , is described from Tibet and Yunnan, southwestern China. A diagnosis and description of the adult habitus and aedeagal structure are illustrated with color images. Similarities in the terminalia with closely related species are discussed.

A new species of (Plecoptera, Nemouridae) and supplementary description of from the Nanling Mountains of southern China.

Two species of Nemouridae are described and illustrated from the Nanling Mountains of southern China, including a new species, from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and a new regional record species, Li & Yang, 2006 from Hunan Province. The morphological characteristics of the new species are compared to related taxa and the new images with supplementary description of are also provided.

A four-locus phylogeny of rib-stiped cupulate species of (Helvellaceae, Pezizales) with discovery of three new species.

species are ascomycetous macrofungi with saddle-shaped or cupulate apothecia. They are distributed worldwide and play an important ecological role as ectomycorrhizal symbionts. A recent multi-locus phylogenetic study of the genus suggested that the cupulate group of was in need of comprehensive revision.
