Teleomorph: Ascomata 350–610 µm high × 138–315 µm diam. (x ̄ = 511 × 195 µm, n = 5), perithecial, immersed in sometimes slightly uneven bark, only visible as minute dark dots, scattered or aggregated in small groups, depressed globose, dark. Peridium 32–40 µm thick, composed of several layers of pseudoparenchymatous cells, cells small to medium-sized, thin- to slightly thick-walled, brown externally and hyaline internally. Paraphyses 2.2–4.7 µm wide, hyaline, simple, multiguttulate, septate. Asci 118.5–166 × 6.9–9.3 µm (x ̄ = 138 × 7.8 µm, n = 30), 8 - spored, unitunicate, cylindrical, with a short stipe, with apical apparatus 1.1–1.7 × 0.3–0.5 µm (x ̄ = 1.4 × 0.4 µm, n = 10), amyloid, bluing in Melzer’s reagent. Ascospores 17.7–21 × 4.6–6.6 µm (x ̄ = 19 × 5.9 µm, n = 30), L / W = 3.2, uniseriate, oblong or narrowly fusiform, hyaline, 1 - septate at the center, slightly constricted at the septum, smooth, straight to slightly curved, thick-walled, without a mucilaginous sheath. Anamorph: Not observed.</p><p>Notes.</p><p>Phylogenetically, Amphisphaeria zhaotongensis is closely related to A. ailaoshanensis L. S. Dissan., K. D. Hyde &amp; J. C. Kang and A. mangrovei Devadatha &amp; V. V. Sarma. In BLASTn search, the ITS sequence of A. zhaotongensis showed highest similarity to A. ailaoshanensis (KUNCC 2315520, KUNCC 2315521) with 95.59 %, followed by A. mangrovei (PUFD 37) with 90.84 %. The LSU sequences of A. zhaotongensis showed 97.51 % similarity to A. ailaoshanensis (KUNCC 2315520, KUNCC 2315521) and 98.39 % to A. mangrovei (PUFD 37). Morphologically, A. zhaotongensis resembles A. ailaoshanensis in ascospore size but differs by having significantly larger ascomata (350–610 × 138–315 µm vs. 100–140 × 250–350 µm), longer asci (x ̄ = 138 × 7.8 µm vs. 87 × 8 µm), an amyloid apical apparatus (vs. inamyloid), and ascospores with narrow ends (vs. rounded) (Dissanayake et al. 2024).</p><p>Amphisphaeria mangrovei can be easily distinguished from A. zhaotongensis by its smaller ascomata (150–280 µm high × 140–250 µm diam vs. 350–610 µm high × 138–315 µm diam. and smaller ascospores (12–15 µm in length vs. 17.7–21 µm in length) (Phookamsak et al. 2019).</p><p>Amphisphaeria zhaotongensis is morphologically similar to the type species Amphisphaeria umbrina in having immersed, globose ascomata, cylindrical asci an amyloid apical apparatus, and 1 - septate ascospores. However, it differs from A. umbrina in having hyaline and slightly smaller ascospores (17.7–21 × 4.6–6.6 µm), whereas A. umbrina has brown and slightly larger ascospores (20–25 × 6–8 µm).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/5541E9C7CC685DEE8254D6A322C1790F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Anamorph: Not observed.</p><p>Habit and habitat.</p><p>Scattered on dead bamboo.</p><p>Notes.</p><p>Morphologically, Pallidoperidium yunnanense resembles P. exasperatum R. Sugita &amp; Kaz. Tanaka and P. paraexasperatum R. Sugita &amp; Kaz. Tanaka, in having immersed perithecial ascomata, cylindrical unitunicate asci with a discoid apical apparatus, and brown, ellipsoid to fusiform ascospores. However, P. yunnanense differs from P. exasperatum by having markedly broader ascomata (446–700 µm vs. 320–390 µm wide) and ascospores with a narrow mucilaginous sheath (vs. ascospores with a thick mucilaginous sheath) (Sugita et al. 2024).</p><p>P. yunnanense is distinguished from the additional two species in the genus by its smaller, narrower ascospores (14.4–18 × 5.5–7.3 µm) compared to P. chinense (18–35 × 5–9.5 µm) and P. smilacis (16.3–18.3 × 7.7–8.4 µm). In addition, P. chinense and P. smilacis have smooth to roughened ascospores with a thick mucilaginous sheath, while mucilaginous sheath narrow in P. yunnanense (Habib et al. 2025).</p><p>Phylogenetically, Pallidoperidium yunnanense forms an independent clade in a basal position within the genus. Although phylogenetically distinct, its morphology is consistent with the generic concept of Pallidoperidium, including subglobose, deeply immersed perithecial ascomata, discoid apical apparatus, and ellipsoid to fusiform brown ascospores (Table 2).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E6184B0045335F20A3E0045C54004D1C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
