Abstract: Beltraniaceae species are commonly associated with plant litter on various hosts. During our survey of saprobic fungi on Litchi and Longan litter in southern China, three Beltraniaceae taxa were isolated. Species identification was carried out through phylogenetic analysis and the pairwise homoplasy index (PHI) using large subunit nrDNA (LSU) and internal transcribed spacer nrDNA (ITS) sequences, along with morphological characters. Two new species, Beltrania dinghuensis and Beltraniella guangzhouensis, and one new host record (Beltraniella jiangxiensis) were identified. Descriptions and photo plates are provided for all isolated species, along with an updated phylogenetic tree and an identification key of Beltraniaceae. |
