A new species, Melnikomyces longisporum sp. nov. was isolated from forest litter in Guizhou Province, China. Phylogenetic analysis based on a combined nuclear ribosomal markers (SSU, ITS, and LSU) and protein coding genes (ACT1, TUB2, and TEF1-α) sequence data indicated that this strain belonged to the genus Melnikomyces but it constituted a distinct lineage and represented herein as a novel taxon. Morphological examination showed that it can be distinguished from known Melnikomyces species by its longer branched conidiophores, and longer verruculose conidia.

A new species, Ochroconis terricola, was isolated from soil in Guizhou Province, China. Morphology and phylogenetic analyses of the combined sequence data of nuclear ribosomal DNA genes (ITS, LSU, SSU) revealed the strain as different from other Ochroconis species.
