Chen Institute of Forest Disease and Insect Control, Hubei Academy of Forestry, 1 Lion Peak, Jiufeng, Wuhan, Hubei 430075, China Introduction The Wudang Mountains are a small range in Hubei Province, China. Its major part, commonly referred to as Wudangshan, is located in Danjiangkou City, just to the south of the manufacturing city of Shiyan. Tianzhu Peak (Sky Pillar Peak), the highest at 1,612 m, is surrounded by 72 lesser peaks and 24 ravines. A field trip was made to the Wudang Mountains to collect hyphomycetes in July 2010. Two species new to science, Codinaea sinensis and Parapleurotheciopsis quercicola, were discovered on fallen leaves of an evergreen oak tree (Quercus phillyraeoides A. Gray, “wu gang li” in Chinese or “ubame-gashi” in Japanese) over 600 years old near the top of Tianzhu Peak at an elevation of ca. 1600 m. The two new species are described and illustrated. Two new records are also reported. Materials and methods Conidiophores and conidia of the fungi were mounted in 85% lactic acid. A staining agent, 0.1% lacto-fuchsin, was used to observe conidiogenous cells, septation of colorless conidia, and setulae. Tape lifts were prepared and microscopic observations made under Nomarski differential interference contrast optics. Photomicrographs were taken with an Olympus Microfire digital camera (Goleta, CA). Herbarium acronyms follow the Index Herbariorum (Holmgren and Holmgren 1998). Measurements of the fungal structures were statistically analyzed with Microsoft Office Excel 2010 with 95% confidence interval of means. The results were presented Author's personal copy Mycol Progress as ranges and mean±standard deviation. Q is length/width ratio and n, the number of fungal structures measured.

Coll. iv-vii-2010, De-Wei Li, Bryce Kendrick, Jingyuan Chen, BPI 882562 (holotype). Etymology : refers to China where the species was discovered. Hyphae septate, branched, smooth, pale brown, 1.2– 1.5 μm wide. Setae absent. Conidiophores setiform, differentiated, determinate, erect, unbranched, straight or slightly flexuous, dark brown, smooth, thick-walled, 4–10-septate, arising from swollen basal cells 9–11.5 μm wide, up to 185 μm long, paler and slightly tapering toward the apex (2–3 μm) which often develops into a monophialidic cell with funnelshaped collarette, developing 3–6 discrete phialides laterally from the lower part. Conidiogenous cells monophialidic, discrete, lateral, obclavate or dolabriform, smooth, light brown, straight or slightly curved, often with an enlarged base, developed through pores at septa in the lower part of the conidiophores, (11.5)12–17.5(20)×(3.0)3.5–4 (mean015.0±2.5×3.5 ±0.2, n010) μm with a funnel-shaped collarette 2×0.5 μm.

Teleomorph: unknown. Distribution: Wudangshan, Hubei, China. Habitat: Quercus phillyraeoides A. Gray leaf litter. Comments: Maire (1937) erected Codinaea, typified by Codinaea aristata, which develops multiseptate thickwalled setae, 1- or 2-septate thin-walled conidiophores, terminal monophialidic conidiogenous cells, and colorless, falcate, 1-celled conidia, with a setula at each end. Twelve species were treated by Hughes and Kendrick (1968). Gamundi et al. (1977) rediscovered and redescribed Dictyochaeta Speg. (1923) and its type species D. fuegiana, which produced falcate, 1-celled conidia without setulae, and decided that Dictyochaeta had priority over Codinaea and should be revived. Their treatment was accepted by most mycologists in the past two decades (Seifert et al. 2011). To date, 43 new epithets have been described in and 57 taxa have been moved to Dictyochaeta since then (Robert et al. 2005). Réblová and Winka (2000) found that species with or without lateral phialides were phylogenetically grouped into both subgroups 1A and 1B of the same clade (group 1) and conidia with setulae were grouped into subgroup 1A, while conidia without setulae fitted into subgroup 1B according to their molecular study. Réblová (2000) suggested that species with conidial setulae should be placed in Codinaea based on molecular study, and species without conidial setulae in Dictyochaeta. Seifert et al. (2011) agreed with Réblová (2000) on segregation of Codinaea and Dictyochaeta using conidial setulae as the delineating factor and accepted both Codinaea and Dictyochaeta as valid genera. This treatment has not been widely accepted (Whitton et al. 2000, Cruz et al. 2008). Réblová (2000) also suggested Codinaea be treated as a synonym of Menispora, and Dictyochaeta be merged with Chloridium. This opinion has not been widely accepted. Arambarri and Cabello (1990: 12) erected Dictyochaetopsis to segregate species from Dictyochaeta by the presence of lateral phialides on setiform conidiophores and from Codinaeopsis Morgan-Jones (1976: 166) by the absence of encircling hyphae (collar hyphae) of the lateral phialides. Réblová and Winka (2000) found that presence of lateral phialides is polyphyletic according to the results of their phylogenetic study. Thus, Seifert et al. (2011) do not accept Dictyochaetopsis and Codinaeopsis as valid genera. Codinaea sinensis has lateral phialides and conidial setulae which is the reason for placing it in Codinaea. Codinaea sinensis is morphologically similar to species with lateral phialides: Codinaea filamentosa Onofri (≡ Dictyochaetopsis (Ds.) filamentosa (Onofri) Aramb. & Cabello, Codinaea intermedia Rambelli [≡ Ds. intermedia (Rambelli) Aramb. & Cabello], Dictyochaeta menisporoides Hol.-Jech. [≡ Ds. menisporoides (Hol.-Jech.) Aramb. & Cabello], and Dictyochaeta pahangensis Kuthub. & Nawawi [≡ Ds. pahangensis (Kuthub. & Nawawi) Whitton et al.], in having 1-celled falcate conidia with a single setula at each end. However, it can be differentiated from the other four species by its much smaller conidia (9.5–11.0×2.0–2.5 μm): C. filamentosa has conidia 14–16×2–2.7 μm, C. intermedia conidia are 16–18×3.5–4.5 μm, D. menisporoides conidia are 13–19×1.8–2.5 μm developed by polyphialidic conidiogenesis, and D. pahangensis conidia are 18–23×2–3 μm (Table 1) (Lunghini et al. 1982; Holubova-Jechova 1984; Kuthubutheen and Nawawi 1990). Since the publication of Whitton et al. (2000) with a mass species transfer, 26 species from Codinaea to Dictyochaeta and four species to Dictyochaetopsis, two more species with lateral phialides were described in the genus Dictyochaetopsis: Ds. brasiliensis M. Calduch et al. with a single long setula at the apex of the conidium (5–6.5×1–2 μm) and polyphialidic conidiogenous cells (Calduch et al. 2002: 1071) and Ds. polysetosa R.F. Castañeda et al. with verticillately branched setiform conidiophores and encircling hyphae underneath the phialides (Castañeda-Ruiz et al. 2008: 2). These characters separate C. sinensis from the other two species. A number of species without lateral phialides are morphologically similar to C. sinensis. Detailed comparisons of C. sinensis with all morphologically related species with or without lateral phialides are made in Table 1. Réblová (2000) recognized that a rather limited range of fungal taxa were employed in their molecular studies. It is necessary to conduct additional studies with much broader representation to verify the results of Réblová and Winka (2000) and test the proposals of Réblová (2000).

(2011) listing all references of Codinaea and Dictyochaeta (including Dictyochaetopsis) under Dictyochaeta suggests the uncertainties of taxonomic status of these genera. Thus, no attempt is made to propose new combinations in this paper, although the names of some species discussed in this paper, especially the ones originally described in Dictyochaetopsis, need to be examined and updated. We are using the names accepted by Index Fungorum (Index Fungorum 2011) and MycoBank (Robert et al. 2005) for the species published after 2000. Our opinion is that it is best to leave this task to the authors of a future monographic study on these closely related genera to avoid unnecessary name changes and confusion.

Distribution: Known only Wudangshan, Hubei, China. Habitat: Quercus phillyraeoides A. Gray leaf litter. Comments: Parapleurotheciopsis was erected by Kirk (1982: 65), typified by P. inaequiseptatum (Matsush.) P.M. Kirk. At the same time Kirk (1982) described a new species P. ilicina P.M. Kirk. Parapleurotheciopsis coccolobae R.F. Castañeda & W.B. Kendr. was added in 1990. Thus P. quercicola is the fourth species in the genus. The unicellular conidia of P. coccolobae and unequally 1-septate conidia of P. inaequiseptatum are clearly different from the 3-septate conidia of P. quercicola. The 0–1-septate, dark brown, thick-walled ramoconidia and 3-5-septate conidia of P. quercicola differentiate it from P. ilicina, with its 0–3septate, colorless to pale brown, thin-walled ramoconidia and 0–3-septate conidia (Kirk 1982).
