Rosellinia lamprostoma Syd. & P. Syd., Philipp. J. Sci., C, Bot. 8(4): 273 (1913) (Fig. 2) MycoBank No: MB 159461 Saprobic on dead twig of unidentified plant. Sexual morph Subiculum felted, reddish brown, restricted to rim around stromata, evanescent. Stromata 750–1100 µm high × 700–960 µm diam. (av. = 943 × 808 µm, n = 20), superficial, conical, pear shaped, scattered to gregarious, solitary, conical, dark brown to black, shiny, carbonaceous. Ostioles black, finely to coarsely papillate. Ectostroma 100–120 µm thick, black, carbonaceous. Entostroma disappearing at maturity. Perithecia nearly semiglobose, not collapsed. Asci 246–270 × 16–22 µm (av. = 258.9 × 19.5 µm, n = 30), 8-spored, cylindrical, short pedicellate, apically rounded, with a J+ apical apparatus in Melzer’s reagent, urn-shaped, 14–18.5 µm high, 5.5–8 µm wide. Ascospores 39–54 × 9–11 µm (av. = 46 × 10 µm, n = 30), overlapping uniseriate, fusiform, rounded ends, hyaline when immature, slight brown to brown at maturity, straight to curved, with a germ slit running the entire length of the spores, slightly constricted at the middle part, lacking slimy sheathes or appendages. Asexual morph Undetermined. Culture characteristics: —Ascospores germinated on PDA within 1 month. Colonies on PDA were white when young, became pale brown, dense, but thinning towards the edge, medium dense, white from above, reverse side white at the margin, flesh to pale brown at centre. No pigmentation was produced on the PDA medium. No conidia were observed on PDA or OA media. Habitat/Distribution: —Known to inhabit dead bamboo, Taiwan province, China, Luzon, Philippine Island. Material examined: — CHINA, Hainan Province, Wuzhishan, Emerald Park (18°47′11.85″N, 109°31′0.13″E), altitude: 360 m, dead branch of unidentified plant, 15 November 2020, S.H. Long, FCGY14 (GMB0086, KUN-HKAS 122643, living culture GMBC0086) (New geographical record). Addition sequences: — LSU: OM 001209 Notes: —In our phylogenetic analyses (Figure 1), new collection (GMB 0086) accommodated with R. lamprostoma (YMJ 89112602) and R. mearnsii (MFLU 16-1382). However, GMB 0086 morphologically resembles R. lamprostoma. A morphological comparison of the new collection with these two new species is provided in Table 2. Stromata are conical, pear-shaped in GMB 0086 and R. lamprostoma, which is different from globose stromata in R. mearnsii. And the stromata size of GMB 0086 is close to R. lamprostoma but larger than R. mearnsii. The size of the ascospores is closer to R. lamprostoma but wider than R. mearnsii (Petrini 2013, Tibpromma et al. 2017). Moreover, GMB 0086 have the spore-lenght germ slits which are similar to R. lamprostoma (Petrini 2013). Therefore, we identify GMB 0086 as R. lamprostoma. Rosellinia lamprostoma has been reported in Philippine Islands, and Taiwan (Ju et al. 2007, Petrini 2013).

Sexual morph Subiculum felted, brown, restricted to rim around stromata, evanescent. Stromata 630–735 µm high × 525–700 µm diam. (av. = 679 × 628 µm, n = 20), superficial, scattered to gregarious, solitary, globose, with a conical pointed top, dark, shiny, carbonaceous. Ostioles black, papillate. Ectostroma 80–100 µm thick, black, carbonaceous. Entostroma disappearing at maturity. Perithecia filling entirely the stroma cavity or partly collapsed. Asci 173. 5–241.5 × 18.5–39 µm (av. = 212.5 × 30 µm, n = 30), 8-spored, unitunicate, cylindrical, short pedicellate, apically rounded, with a long J+, barrel-shaped apical apparatus in Melzer’s reagent, 11.5–15.5 µm high, 7–8 µm wide. Ascospores 42–62 × 6.5–12 µm (av. = 55 × 9.3 µm, n = 30), overlapping uniseriate or biseriate, fusiform, ends rounded, hyaline when immature, slight brown to brown at maturity, straight to curved, with a germ slit running the entire length of the spores, entirely surrounded by a thin slimy sheath visible in water and in black ink, lacking appendages. Asexual morph Undetermined. Culture characteristics: —Ascospores germinated on PDA within 24 hours. Colonies on PDA were white when young, became pale brown, dense, but thinning towards edge, medium dense, white from above, reverse side white at margin, flesh to pale brown at centre. No pigmentation was produced on PDA medium. No conidia were observed on PDA or OA media. Habitat/Distribution: —Known to inhabit dead wood, Guizhou Province, China. Etymology: —Refers to its host species, L. verticillata Other material examined: — CHINA, Guizhou Province, Ya Mu Gou Scenic Area (27°54′42.83″N, 108°42′9.08″E), altitude: 1058 m, dead branch of unidentified plant, 15 October 2020, S.

Note: —In the phylogenetic tree (Fig. 1), R. verticillata clustered together with R. tetrastigmae Q.R. Li & J.C. Kang. However, the ascospores of R. verticillata are smaller than those of R. tetrastigmae (42.0–62.0 × 6.7–12.0 µm vs. 72.5–111.5 × 12.5–19.5 µm), and Rosellinia verticillata (GMB0082) ascospores are completely surrounded by a thin slimy sheath, but the R. tetrastigmae only has the slime at the ends (Xie et al. 2019). Moreover, stromata of R. verticillata are larger than those of R. tetrastigmae (630–735 µm high × 525–700 µm diam. vs. 300–500 mm high × 400–600 mm diam.). And R. verticillata belongs to R. emergens group (Petrini 2013) but it is different from the species which have whole spore length germ silt in this group for R. verticillata ascospores are completely surrounded by a thin slimy sheath., Published as part of Long, Sihan, Pi, Yinhui, Wu, Youpeng, Liu, Lili, Zhang, Xu, Long, Qingde, Lin, Yan, Kang, Yingqian, Kang, Jichuan, Wijayawardene, Nalin N. & Li, Qirui, 2022, Rosellinia qiongensis sp. nov., R. verticillata sp. nov. and a new record of R. lamprostoma from China, pp. 287-300 in Phytotaxa 552 (5) on pages 295-297, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.552.5.2, http://zenodo.org/record/6796573, {"references":["Xie, X., Liu, L., Zhang, X., Long, Q., Shen, X., Boonmee, S., Kang, J.

Long and Lili Liu QZ 100-1 (GMB0082, holotype; ex-type GMBC0082); ibid (KUN-HKAS 122640, isotype). Saprobic on a dead branch of bamboo. Sexual morph Subiculum felted cream-colored to light brown, restricted to rim around stromata, persistent. Stromata 560–725 µm high × 525–635 µm diam. (av. = 639 × 582 µm, n = 20), superficial, scattered to gregarious, solitary, globose, with a conical pointed top, dark brown to black, shiny, carbonaceous. Ostioles black, finely to coarsely papillate. Ectostroma 60–80 µm thick, black, carbonaceous. Entostroma black, confined to base. Perithecia not collapsed in the stroma cavity. Asci 108.5–141.5 × 11–24 µm (av. = 126 × 15.5 µm, n = 30) 8-spored, unitunicate, cylindrical, short pedicellate, apically rounded, with a long barrel-shaped, apically flattened, basally attenuated or not, J + apical apparatus in Melzer’s reagent, 6.0–6.8 µm high, 6.6–9.9 µm wide. Ascospores 24.5–31 × 5–8 µm (av. = 27.2 × 6.4 µm, n = 30), biseriate, fusiform, ends rounded, hyaline when immature, slight brown to brown at maturity, straight to curved, with three, 3–9 µm, straight germ slits, without slimy sheathes or appendages. Asexual morph Undetermined. Culture characteristics: —Ascospores germinated on PDA within 24 hours. Colonies on PDA were white when young, became pale brown, dense, but thinning towards the edge, medium dense, white from above, reverse sides were white at the margin, flesh to pale brown at centre, no pigmentation were produced on PDA medium, no conidia were observed on PDA or OA media. Habitat/Distribution: —Known to inhabit dead wood, Hainan Province, China. Etymology: —Refers to Qiong, the abbreviation of Hainan province, where the type specimen was collected. Other material examined: — CHINA, Hainan Province, Qiongzhong County (19°7′8.10″N, 109°52′21.36″E), altitude: 177 m, dead branch of bamboo, 13 November 2020, S.H.

Notes: —Our new strains of Rosellinia qiongensis accommodate as the sister clade to R. pervariabilis Q.R. Li & J.C. Kang in the phylogenetic tree with high statistical supports (100/0.99) (Fig. 1). Their ascospores are similar in shape and both are light brown in color, but R. qiongensis had three germ slits on ascospores while R. pervariabilis are lacking them. Moreover, the size of ascospores of R. qiongensis is larger than that of R. pervariabilis (24.5–31× 5–8 µm vs. 19.5–24.5 × 4–5 µm) (Xie et al. 2019). Rosellinia qiongensis belongs to Rosellinia emergens group and it is also reminiscent of R. dolichospora Syd. & P. Syd. and R. patilii L.E. Petrini, which has fusiform, brown ascospores with three short germ slits (Petrini 2013). However, R. qiongensis differs from R. dolichospora and R. patilii by its smaller ascospores (24.5–31 × 5–8 µm in R. qiongensis, 29–33 × 6.3– 7.7 µm in R. dolichospora, and 38.6–45.4 × 7.2– 9.8 µm in R. patilii) (Petrini 2013)., Published as part of Long, Sihan, Pi, Yinhui, Wu, Youpeng, Liu, Lili, Zhang, Xu, Long, Qingde, Lin, Yan, Kang, Yingqian, Kang, Jichuan, Wijayawardene, Nalin N. & Li, Qirui, 2022, Rosellinia qiongensis sp. nov., R. verticillata sp. nov. and a new record of R. lamprostoma from China, pp. 287-300 in Phytotaxa 552 (5) on pages 293-295, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.552.5.2, http://zenodo.org/record/6796573, {"references":["Xie, X., Liu, L., Zhang, X., Long, Q., Shen, X., Boonmee, S., Kang, J.
