The
complex, predominantly reported from East Asia, Mesoamerica and Caribbean countries, was circumscribed into
as one of the new genera, based on morphological and phylogenetic data. The present ...paper describes four new species of
from India. Morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses, based on ITS and nLSU data, delimited the new species, which are named
,
,
and
. The pairwise homoplasy index (PHI) test was done to confirm the distinctive nature of the new species. The traits of Indian species remain distinct from one another, except for the pileate basidiome with the mono-dimitic hyphal system, cystidioles and broadly ellipsoid basidiospores. Descriptions, illustrations, PHI test results and a phylogenetic tree to show the position of the new species are provided. In addition, an identification key to
in Asia and an African species is given.
This article is the 15th contribution in the Fungal Diversity Notes series, wherein 115 taxa from three phyla, nine classes, 28 orders, 48 families, and 64 genera are treated. Fungal taxa described ...and illustrated in the present study include a new family, five new genera, 61 new species, five new combinations, one synonym, one new variety and 31 records on new hosts or new geographical distributions.
