Both species share key morphological features, including an amyloid, discoid apical apparatus, as well as similarly sized asci and ascospores. However, they can be readily distinguished by differences in ascospore shape and in the size of asci and ascomata. Minuticlypeus zunyiensis possesses fusiform to ellipsoidal ascospores that taper toward both ends, with slightly pointed tips and a distinct germ slit. In contrast, M. yunnanensis has ellipsoid to rugby-shaped ascospores with more rounded ends and lacks a germ slit. Additionally, M. zunyiensis has larger ascomata (354–665 × 407–566 µm) compared to M. yunnanensis (301–342.4 × 351.6–489.9 µm) (Li et al. 2024).</p><p>Compared with other species in the genus, M. zunyiensis is also clearly distinguishable (Table 2). Minuticlypeus discosporus differs by having smaller ascomata (290–410 × 310–430 µm), much smaller asci (105–130 µm vs. 166.5–208.5 µm), and ellipsoid to oblong ascospores with rounded ends rather than tapering ends (Sugita et al. 2024). Minuticlypeus rhaphidophylli also has smaller ascomata (304–336 × 155–183 µm) and shorter asci (133–163 µm) (Li et al. 2024). Minuticlypeus xiaoheensis is characterized by smaller ascomata (320–380 × 340–400 µm), shorter asci (85.5–140 µm), and ellipsoid to broadly ellipsoid ascospores with rounded ends (Zhou et al. 2024). Minuticlypeus biconcavus differs in having smaller ascomata (300–450 µm wide, 250–350 µm high), shorter asci with an edge-shaped apical apparatus that becomes thinner in the center, forming a biconcave shape, and ascospores lacking a germ slit (Habib et al. 2025).</p><p>On the basis of these clear morphological distinctions from all known species of the genus together with its distinct phylogenetic placement, Minuticlypeus zunyiensis is herein introduced as a new species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4DC266AE9A0953419F416D6B324CD7E2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Morphologically, the two species are similar in ascospore and asci characteristics, however, they differ in habitat, ascomatal and ascus dimensions. Paravamsapriya yunnanensis was collected on dead bamboo culms ( Poaceae), whereas P. nypae occurs on palm rachides of Nypa fruticans . In addition, P. yunnanensis has larger ascomata (536–622 × 386–438 µm) and longer asci (145–183 µm) than P. nypae, which has ascomata 200–360 μm diam., and asci 90–145 µm long (Zhang et al. 2024). When compared with the type species of the genus, P. ostiolata, the new species is clearly distinguishable by its smaller ascospores (17–21.5 × 5.7–7.8 µm) surrounded by a relatively thick mucilaginous sheath (10–31 µm). In contrast, P. ostiolata possesses larger ascospores (23–28 × 7.5–10 µm) with prominent thin mucilaginous caps at both ends, which are absent in P. yunnanensis (Samarakoon et al. 2022).</p><p>Based on these clear morphological distinctions within the genus, together with its distinct phylogenetic placement, P. yunnanensis is herein introduced as a new species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1427FE674BCC5239B7F580DA5948D754	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
