Abstract

Two new species, Codinaea sinensis and Parapleurotheciopsis quercicola from leaf litter of Quercus phillyraeoides collected from Wudangshan, Hubei, China are described and illustrated. Conidiogenous cells of Codinaea sinensis are phialides, the conidia 1-celled, falcate, smooth, colorless, 9.7–11 × 2.0–2.4 μm, with a single, unbranched setula at each end. Conidia of Parapleurotheciopsis quercicola are 3–5-septate, cylindro-ellipsoidal, colorless, smooth, thin-walled, 19–24 × 4.4–5.4 μm. A key to the species of Parapleurotheciopsis is provided. Two new records for China, Subramaniomyces fusisaprophyticus and Taifanglania inflata are also reported.
