Three specimens of Bactrodesmium were collected on dead branches of unidentified plants from subtropical forests in Jiangxi, China. Two represent new species: B. chinense is distinguished by its ellipsoidal to broadly fusiform 9–11-euseptate verrucose reddish brown conidia with pale brown to subhyaline end cells; B. lushanense is characterized by its variably shaped (obovoid, clavate, ellipsoid) verrucose dark brown to black conidia with 3–6 dark-banded eusepta and paler basal cells. The third specimen represents, B. novageronense, a new record for China. The three species are described, illustrated, and compared with similar taxa. |
