(2024) from dead culms of bamboo in Guizhou Province, China. In our phylogenetic analysis, three new collections (KUNCC 23-16269, CGMCC 3.276841, and CGMCC 3.27684) clustered with D. liupanshuiensis with 98 ML /1.00 PP support (FIGURE 1). Our new collections exhibit morphological characteristics similar to those of the type strain of D. liupanshuiensis (GZAAS 23-0806) (Dissanayake et al. 2024). For example, the conidia of both are acrogenous, solitary, obclavate in shape, and distoseptate. Although slight differences in conidial size and color are observed when compared to the type specimen, previous studies of Distoseptispora have demonstrated significant intraspecific variation in conidial dimensions among distinct collections of the same species (Shen e t al. 2021; Ma e t al. 2022). Based on morphological evidence and phylogenetic placement, we identified our collections as D. liupanshuiensis, and it is reported from a freshwater habitat for the first time.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E387D58C37FFE6FF4BFA23029AF892	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Sexual morph: Undetermined. Asexual morph: Colonies effuse, hairy, dark brown, glistening, solitary or in small groups. Mycelium immersed, composed of septate, pale brown to olive-brown, smooth-walled hyphae. Conidiophores 47–62 × 4.9–5.6 µm (x = 55 × 5.2 µm, n = 15), macronematous, mononematous, solitary or in groups, erect, straight or slightly flexuous, unbranched, cylindrical, smooth-walled, pale olive-brown. Conidiogenous cells 14–17 × 4.0–4.8 µm (x = 15 × 4.4 µm, n = 15), monoblastic, terminal, determinate, cylindrical, pale brown to olive-brown, smooth-walled.

Distoseptispora pulchra resembles D. cangshanensis in having macronematous, mononematous, erect, unbranched conidiophores; monoblastic, terminal, determinate conidiogenous cells; and acrogenous, solitary, obclavate, multi-distoseptate conidia. Although D. pulchra (KUNCC 23-17029) and D. cangshanensis (MFLUCC 16-0970) exhibit only minor differences in conidiophores size (47–62 × 4.9–5.6 µm vs. 44–68 × 4–8 µm) and conidial size (67–122 × 6.9–9.5 µm vs. 58–166(–287) × 10–14 µm), sequence comparisons revealed nucleotide differences of 16 bp in the ITS, 3 bp in the LSU and 15 bp in tef 1-α. Due to variations in habitat and growth period, the morphology of the same species in this genus may exhibit some variability, particularly in conidial size. Therefore, species delimitation within the genus relies primarily on molecular sequence data. Based on this molecular evidence, D. pulchra is identified and introduced here as a novel species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E387D58C3BFFE8FF4BFF090258FB3E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
