B. Khan & T. C. Wen 2026	<div><p>Periconia neroscuroinea M.B. Khan &amp; T.C. Wen, sp. nov.</p><p>(Fig. 2)</p><p>TYPE MATERIAL. — China • Yunnan Province, Baoshan City, Gaoligong Mountains; 24.X.2024; Muhammad Binyamin Khan leg.; holotype: KUNCC25-19211; GenBank: PV088432-ITS, PV088436- LSU, PV 088447-SSU, PV164601-TEF-1 α • same data; paratype: KUNCC25-19212; GenBank: PV088433-ITS, PV088446-LSU, PV088448-SSU .</p><p>DIAGNOSIS. — Periconia neroscuroinea M.B. Khan &amp; T.C.Wen, sp. nov. is characterized by solitary, globose, brown to dark brown, verruculose, aseptate conidia (6.5-8.7 µm diam.), and long, curved, unbranched, smooth-walled conidiophores (350-900× 7-19 µm) with echinulate to verrucose, polyblastic, globose to subglobose conidiogenous cells. Colonies are black, hairy, and effuse on dead leaves of Ligustrum lucidum .</p><p>ETYMOLOGY. — From Latin,“ nero ” meaning black “ scuroinea ”meaning dark color referring to the distinct black dark colonies on natural substrate.</p><p>DISTRIBUTION. — This species is described here for the first time and is so far known only from its type locality in China: Yunnan Province, Baoshan City, Gaoligong Mountains.</p><p>SUBSTRATE. — Found on dead leaves of Ligustrum lucidum .</p><p>MYCOBANK NUMBER. — MB859157.</p><p>DESCRIPTION</p><p>Saprobic on dead leaves of Ligustrum lucidum . Asexual morph: Colonies on natural substrate superficial, effuse, surface, conspicuous, black dark, hairy, surface. Mycelium mostly immersed, septate, smooth, brown, hyaline hyphae 1-2 µm wide.
