Host 2.1–3.3 × 0.2–0.4 cm, reddish-brown, without hyphae on the surface. Sexual morph: Stromata 2.4–3.5 × 0.18–0.32 cm diam., mostly single, cylindrical, unbranched, emerging from the head of the larva body, yellowish-white. Fertile head 4.5 × 6 mm, subglobose, pale yellow when fresh, pale yellow-brown when dry, distinct from the stipe. Stipe 1.5–2.3 × 0.18–0.21 cm, pale yellow, straight, unbranched, glossy, cylindrical, inside not hollow. Perithecia 255–356 × 155–231 μm (x ̄ = 305.5 × 193 µm, n = 30), superficial, ampulliform, ostiolate, thick-walled. Asci 170–208 × 4.6–5.7 μm (x ̄ = 189 × 5.15 µm, n = 30), hyaline, filiform, with a thin apex. Ascospores filiform, equal to the asci in length, when mature, breaking into numerous secondary ascospores. Secondary ascospores 1.3–3.1 × 1.1–1.3 µm (x ̄ = 2.2 × 1.2, n = 40), short cylindrical, one-celled, straight, hyaline, smooth. Asexual morph: Synnemata 3.5–8.5 × 0.5–1.2 mm, numerous, slender, erect, white, arising from the host and surrounding substrate, scattered to gregarious, not distinctly swollen at the apex. Hyphae forming a superficial layer on the host surface, from which conidiogenous structures arise. Conidiophores reduced, not clearly differentiated. Phialides 8.7–19.5 × 1.8–2.7 µm (x ̄ = 14.4 × 2.25, n = 40), solitary, arising directly from hyphae, short, slender, slightly tapering.

Since Pe. zongqii is known only from its asexual morph, comparison between the two species is restricted to asexual characteristics. Perennicordyceps liupanshuiensis differs from Pe. zongqii in having shorter and simpler phialides (8.7–19.5 × 1.8–2.7 μm vs. 29.3–31.1 × 1.5–2.4 μm), which arise directly from hyphae, whereas Pe. zongqii produces well-developed conidiophores bearing multiple phialides (Chen et al. 2024). Ecologically, Pe. liupanshuiensis occurs on larvae of Coleoptera, whereas Pe. zongqii has been reported from Lepidoptera larvae (Chen et al. 2024). Pairwise sequence comparisons between Pe. liupanshuiensis and its closest relatives show differences of 1.5 % (10 / 655 bp) in ITS, 1.7 % (15 / 874 bp) in tef - 1 α, and 2.1 % (20 / 950 bp) in rpb 2 (Chen et al. 2024). Therefore, Perennicordyceps liupanshuiensis is recognized as a distinct species based on morphological and phylogenetic evidence.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AF75319D29D653D78E76A1C2045B9396	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Morphologically, the specimen agrees well with the description of Pe. prolifica, particularly in producing slender, cylindrical synnemata and hirsutella-like phialides, as well as comparable conidial size and shape (Matočec et al. 2014). Perennicordyceps prolifica was originally described from underground-dwelling nymphs of Cicadidae ( Hemiptera) (Kobayasi and Shimizu 1963; Matočec et al. 2014). In contrast, the present specimen was collected from a lepidopteran cocoon, representing a new host record for the species. Furthermore, Pe. prolifica has previously been reported from Japan (Kobayasi and Shimizu 1963; Matočec et al. 2014), whereas the present collection from China represents a new geographic record. These results suggest that Pe. prolifica has a broader host range and wider distribution than previously recognized.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/5AED81C3B19D54EB87D35332F18F10C7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Pairwise sequence comparisons revealed differences of 2.4 % (13 / 543 bp) in ITS, 4.2 % (35 / 841 bp) in nrSSU, 3.6 % (31 / 866 bp) in tef - 1 α, 1.7 % (12 / 718 bp) in rpb 1, and 2.6 % (26 / 986 bp) in rpb 2 between Pe. tielingensis and Pe. paracuboidea (Schoch et al. 2012) . For Pe. lutea, only nrLSU sequence data are available; therefore, sequence comparisons were limited to this locus, showing 2.1 % (18 / 840 bp) differences between Pe. tielingensis and Pe. lutea (Xiao et al. 2023) . The host of Pe. tielingensis is the stipe of Ophiocordyceps sp., whereas Pe. paracuboidea has been reported from Coleoptera hosts, and Pe. lutea is associated with Ophiocordyceps sinensis (Ban et al. 2009; Xiao et al. 2023). Compared to Pe. lutea, Pe. tielingensis produces shorter phialides (5–16 μm vs. 14.8–64.9 μm) and smaller conidia (2.4–3.6 × 1.5–2.5 μm vs. 2.3–4.5 × 1.8–3.4 μm) (Xiao et al. 2023). Compared to Perennicordyceps paracuboidea, Pe. tielingensis produces shorter phialides (5–16 μm vs. 10.9–21.5 μm) and larger conidia (2.4–3.6 × 1.5–2.5 μm vs. 1.3–1.9 × 1–1.9 μm) (Ban et al. 2009).
