선은미,임형탁,김혁진,손동찬,이강협,최경 한국식물분류학회 2017 식물 분류학회지 Vol.47 No.2

Achillea alpina L. subsp. pulchra (Koidz.) Kitam., an unrecorded subspecies belonging to the genus Achillea of Asteraceae, was discovered and is illustrated here. It is known as an endemic species of Hokkaido, Japan, but we discovered it along the seashore at Uljin in Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea. Having a relatively equally serrate or dentate leaf margin and sparsely villous involucres, this subspecies is easily distinguished from its related taxa. Based on its habitat, it was termed Gaet-top-pul in Korean. We provide a description, illustrations, photographs and a key of related taxa in Korea.

Two New Genera, Caveana gen. nov. and Triviola gen. nov., and Two New Torodora Species from Thailand (Lepidoptera, Lecithoceridae)

Kyu-Tek Park,Sora Kim 한국응용곤충학회 2009 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2009 No.05

Park (2001) described a new species of Tisis Walker, which was the first lecithocerid recognized from Thailand. Subsequently, several taxonomic papers on the family in Thailand have been published, in which more than 50 new taxa were described (Park, 2002a-b; 2003a-c; 2004; 2005a-b; 2006a-b). For the genus Torodora Meyrick, Park (2002a, 2007) described 18 new species from Thailand. Recent study of the lecithocerid moths collected in Thailand during 1980 revealed two species with venation that does not match that of any of the known genera of the family. The two species look more or less similar each other in the forewing coloration, but the shape of the wings and their venation are quite different. Generally, for the genus-level taxonomy in the family Lecithoceridae, the wing venation has been treated as most important character distinguished genera, and many genera of the family, more than 40% of the known genera, were established as monotypic by early workers (Meyrick, 1925; Gozmäny, 1978), based on their different venations. Although the wing venation is an important character to define the generic status of the family, the combination of venations with the other morphological characters including genital character should be considered. For these reasons, many small genera of the family are needed to be revised with a result in comparison of more characters other than wing venation. In this study, two new genera, Caveana gen. nov. and Triviola gen. nov., belonging to the subfamily Torodorinae, based on Caveana diemseoki sp. nov. and Triviola puiensis sp. nov. are described. At the same time, two new Torodora species, T. karismata sp. nov. and T. youwon sp. nov., are also described from Thailand. Images of adults and genitalia are given. Specimens examined are based on the collection of the Osaka Prefecture University, collected in Thailand by Japanese specialists during 1980

Macrolepiota in Korea: New Records and a New Species

( Hae Jin Cho ),( Hyun Lee ),( Myung Soo Park ),( Changmu Kim ),( Komsit Wisitrassameewong ),( Abel Lupala ),( Ki Hyeong Park ),( Min Ji Kim ),( Jonathan J. Fong ),( Young Woon Lim ) 한국균학회 2019 Mycobiology Vol.47 No.4

The genus Macrolepiota (Agaricales, Basidiomycota) is easy to recognize at the genus level because of big, fleshy basidiocarps with squamules covering the pileus; a single or double annulus; and big, thick-walled basidiospores with a germ pore. However, morphological identification is often unreliable in Macrolepiota due to similar morphological features among species. Due to the uncertainty of previous morphological identification in the genus Macrolepiota, it is necessary to re-examine Korean Macrolepiota using molecular data. We reexamined 34 Macrolepiota specimens collected from 2012 to 2018 in Korea using a reverse taxonomic approach, whereby species identification was first done based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region analysis, followed by morphological confirmation. We identified the presence of four species: M. detersa, M. mastoidea, M. procera, and M. umbonata sp. nov. Two species (M. detersa and M. mastoidea) were previously unrecorded from Korea and M. umbonata is a new species. Detailed descriptions of all four species and taxonomic key are provided in this study. Macrolepiota procera and M. umbonata are distributed through the country, but M. detersa and M. mastoidea are distributed only in limited areas. According to our results, the combination of ITS locus and morphology proved to be a robust approach to evaluate the taxonomic status of Macrolepiota species in Korea. Additional surveys are needed to verify the species diversity and clarify their geographic distribution.

Ajaysinghia dendriscostictae a new genus and species of lichenicolous fungus growing on Dendriscosticta praetextata (Peltigerales: Peltigeraceae) in India

Yogesh Joshi 국립중앙과학관 2022 Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity Vol.15 No.1

The new commensalistic lichenicolous genus Ajaysinghia, is described, illustrated, and compared withother morphologically similar fungi. The type species, A. dendriscostictae, grows on the thallus of thecorticolous lichen Dendriscosticta praetextata in temperate and subalpine regions of Central Himalaya(Uttarakhand, India). It is distinguished from other lichenicolous ascomycetes described so far in havingpseudoperithecia growing in clumps making it appear like galls, (0e)1-septate, brown ascospores [(12e)14.2e17.3(e18) (3e)3.7e4.8(e5) mm, l/b ¼ (2.8e)3.3e4.2(e4.6) mm], with rounded to pointed ends,slightly constricted at the septum and a cyanobacterial host (Dendriscosticta praetextata).

Two New Species in the Family Cunninghamellaceae from China

( Heng Zhao ),( Jing Zhu ),( Tong-kai Zong ),( Xiao-ling Liu ),( Li-ying Ren ),( Qing Lin ),( Min Qiao ),( Yong Nie ),( Zhi-dong Zhang ),( Xiao-yong Liu ) 한국균학회 2021 Mycobiology Vol.49 No.2

The species within the family Cunninghamellaceae are widely distributed and produce important metabolites. Morphological studies along with a molecular phylogeny based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large subunit (LSU) of ribosomal DNA revealed two new species in this family from soils in China, that is, Absidia ovalispora sp. nov. and Cunninghamella globospora sp. nov. The former is phylogenetically closely related to Absidia koreana, but morphologically differs in sporangiospores, sporangia, sporangiophores, columellae, collars, and rhizoids. The latter is phylogenetically closely related to Cunninghamella intermedia, but morphologically differs in sporangiola and colonies. They were described and illustrated.

Minho Lee,Mariusz Kanturski,Seunghwan Lee 한국응용곤충학회 2023 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2023 No.10

The aphid genus Macromyzus Takahashi is a small East-Asia genus of the tribe Macrosiphini (Hemiptera: Aphidinae). Globally, there are five recognized species: Macromyzus (Anthracosiphoniella) maculatus (Basu), Macromyzus (Macromyzus) indicus David & Narayanan, M. (M.) manoji Raha & Raychaudhuri, M. (M.) spinosus Su & Qiao, and M. (M.) woodwardiae (Takahashi). In this study, we report the first record of the aphid genus Macromyzus Takahashi in Laos. We present a decription of a new species of this genus associated with Diplazium esculentum (Retz.) Sw. (Athyriaceae). Additionally, for the first time, we conducted scanning electron microscopy research on the morphology and sensilla of representative of this genus.

Cryptic diversity of the gall-forming aphid Tuberaphis Takahashi (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on Styrax (Styracaceae)

Minho Lee,Mariusz Kanturski,Hsin-Ting Yeh,Sun Keun Lee,Seunghwan Lee 한국응용곤충학회 2023 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2023 No.10

The aphid genus Tuberaphis Takahashi belongs to the tribe Cerataphdini (Hemiptera: Hormaphidinae) and comprises 17 valid species. Generally, its species are distributed in East and South East Asia, where they primarily feed on Styrax spp. (Styracaceae) and utilize species within the Loranthaceae family as their secondary hosts. They form various shapes of galls on Styrax, looking coral and broccoli etc. Currently, the only aphid species reported to exclusively produce gall forms resembling broccoli head-shaped is Tuberaphis takeouchii (Takahashi). For the first time in Korea, an aphid species forming gall structures with a broccoli-head-like appearance has been discovered. We confirmed that the species discovered in Korea is a new species through morphological and molecular comparisons with T. takenouchii (Takahashi). To comprehend the life cycle of this new species, we conducted a year-long study investigating how the gall forms change and examined aphid polymorphism across different seasons. The results of this study additionally include as followings: 1) Species identification, 2) DNA barcoding, 3) population genetic analyses, and 4) morphological comparison using SEM
