New species of <i>Vamsapriya</i> (Vamsapriyaceae, Xylariales) and <i>Neolinocarpon</i> (Linocarpaceae, Chaetosphaeriales) from Yunnan, China.

ABSTRACT: During a survey of ascomycetes in southwestern China, three new bambusicolous fungi were collected and identified as members of the genera Neolinocarpon and Vamsapriya. The newly identified species are designated Neolinocarponbambusicola sp. nov., Vamsapriyatongluobaensis sp. nov., and V.zhaotongensis sp. nov., delineated through an analysis of both morpho-anatomical characteristics and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses based on ITS, LSU, rpb2, and tub2 sequence data. The distinction of these species from their known counterparts was verified through comparisons of morphological characters and phylogenetic analyses. Comprehensive morphological descriptions, illustrations, and a phylogenetic tree showing the placement of
