Morphologically, Am. fangchenggangensis differs from Am. aureae by having larger asci (211–274 × 12–23 µm vs. 90–190 × 9–18 µm) and larger ascospores (23.5–35.5 × 6–10 µm vs. 15–22.5 × 5–7.9 µm) (Zhou et al. 2024; Liu et al. 2025). In addition, the ascospores of Am. fangchenggangensis possess distinct longitudinal striations, whereas those of Am. subbambusicola are smooth. The new species also has a thicker mucilaginous sheath (9.5–15 µm) compared with Am. aureae (2.5–7 µm) and Am. subbambusicola (6–10 µm) (Zhou et al. 2024; Liu et al. 2025). Comparative sequence analyses revealed that Am. fangchenggangensis differs from Am. aureae (GMB 4550) and Am. subbambusicola (GMB 5606) by 6 % (26 / 431 bp) and 6.6 % (31 / 468 bp) in the ITS region, respectively, and by 1 % (8 / 842 bp) from both taxa in the LSU region. These combined morphological and molecular differences support the recognition of Am. fangchenggangensis as a distinct species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9077C5996F4E58659C6C493103010EBA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Morphologically, Am. yunnanensis is distinguished from Am. aquatica by its longer asci (236–290 µm vs. 190–240 µm) and wider ascospores (6.5–10 µm vs. 6–7.5 µm). Furthermore, Am. aquatica occurs on submerged decaying wood in freshwater habitats, whereas Am. yunnanensis was collected from dead bamboo in a terrestrial habitat (Manawasinghe et al. 2025; Liu et al. 2025). Compared to Am. bambusicola, the new species has larger asci (236–290 × 12.5–17.5 µm vs. 179–196 × 14.0–16.7 µm), larger ascospores (30–40 × 6.5–10 µm vs. 29.7–36.9 × 6.7–7.8 µm), and a thinner mucilaginous sheath (1.7–5.5 µm vs. up to 10 µm). Comparative sequence analysis revealed that Am. yunnanensis differs from Am. aquatica (MFLUCC 18-1046) and Am. bambusicola (GMB 5602) by 5.4 % (26 / 461 bp and 25 / 467 bp, respectively) in the ITS region, and by 1.9 % (16 / 840 bp and 16 / 848 bp, respectively) in the LSU region. Based on these molecular and morphological differences, supported by phylogenetic evidence, Am. yunnanensis is introduced as a new species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/51DEDC7527555E30AC2BDBAF783A25EA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Arecophila viscosa is distinguished from Ar. chinensis by its smaller ascomata (506–789 × 640–795 µm vs. 973–1338 × 746–966 µm) and shorter asci (172–202 µm vs. 215–240 µm). Furthermore, the ascospores of Ar. viscosa are surrounded by a distinct, thick mucilaginous sheath (2.6–13.6 µm thick), whereas the sheath is absent in Ar. chinensis (Habib et al. 2025) . Further, comparative nucleotide analysis revealed that Ar. viscosa differs from Ar. chinensis (GMB 6217) by 1.2 % (5 / 426 bp) in the ITS region and 0.1 % (1 / 849 bp) in the LSU region.</p><p>Compared to Ar. subguizhouensis (clustered in Arecophila clade 4; Fig. 1), which also possesses ascospores with a sheath, Ar. viscosa has smaller ascospores (14.5–18.2 × 5.9–7.6 µm vs. 21–26 × 6–8.5 µm) and a slightly thicker sheath (2.6–13.6 µm vs. 6.5–9 µm). In addition, the ascospores of Ar. viscosa are ellipsoidal with a longitudinal shallow groove, whereas those of Ar. subguizhouensis are fusiform with longitudinal striations (Liu et al. 2025). Based on these molecular and morphological differences, supported by phylogenetic evidence, Ar. viscosa is introduced as a new species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/75C9267936BA59888D8BF1489D8480E8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
