One New Species, ＂Guedea lantania＂, and Two New record of Hyphomycetes from Taiwan

Abstract

Three new hyphomycetes in Taiwan are proposed, including one new species, Guedea lantania, and two new records, ＂Isthmotricladia gombakiensis＂ and ＂Wiesneriomyces laurinus＂. They were isolated from decaying leaves or rotten twigs individually. Morphological characteristics of ＂G. lantania＂ was described, illustrated and compared with the other species in the Guedea genus and a key to the members of this genus was provided. The unique characters of the two newly recorded fungi were also diagnosed and illustrated, and compared with the allied taxa to highlight their distinct characters.
