            <p> Leifia brevispora Gafforov, S.L. Liu &amp; L.W. Zhou sp. nov. Figures 2and 3 </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> The species is distinct from  Leifia flabelliradiata by shorter basidiospores and by being distributed in warm-temperate to subtropical areas in East Asia. </p>
            <p>Typification.</p>
            <p>CHINA. Hubei Province, Wudangshan Town, Wudangshan National Forest Park, on fallen angiosperm branch, 20 Aug 2017, LWZ 20170820-46 (holotype in IFP 019239). GenBank: ITS = MK343469; 28S = MK343473.</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>brevispora (Latin), referring to short basidiospores.</p>
            <p>Basidiomata.</p>
            <p> Annual, resupinate, inseparable from substrate, effused, up to 0.6 mm thick. Hymenophore grandinioid to subodontioid. Margin white, smooth or minutely fibrous, sometimes bearing hyphal strands, thinning out, up to 2 mm wide. Aculei cream to buff in colour, rounded to ellipsoid, 2-3 per mm, up to 0.5 mm long, several being clustered together when dry. Subiculum white, up to 100  μm thick. </p>
            <p>Microscopic structures.</p>
            <p> Hyphal system monomitic; generative hyphae without clamp connections. Subicular hyphae hyaline, thin- to thick-walled, occasionally branched, frequently septate, more or less parallel to substrate, 2-4  μm wide. Aculeus (subhymenial) hyphae hyaline, distinctly thick-walled, mainly vertically intertwined, 2-4  μm wide. Cystidia hyaline, thick-walled, tubular with an invaginated apical end, 60-100  × 5-7  μm , swelling in KOH. Basidia hyaline, thick-walled, clavate to cylindrical, with four sterigmata each 2-3  μm long and a simple septum at the base, 14-18  × 4.5-5.5  μm . Basidioles similar in shape to basidia, but smaller. Basidiospores ellipsoid, hyaline, thin-walled, smooth, inamyloid and indextrinoid, acyanophilous, 3.8  –4.5(– 5)  × (1.8  –)2– 2.5  μm , L = 4.13  μm , W = 2.14  μm , Q = 1.92-1.96 (60/2). </p>
            <p>Other specimen examined.</p>
            <p>CHINA. Hubei Province, Wudangshan Town, Wudangshan National Forest Park, on fallen angiosperm branch, 20 Aug 2017, LWZ 20170820-48 (IFP 019240).</p>
            <p>Notes.</p>
            <p> The grandinioid hymenophore, simple-septate hyphae, distinctly thick-walled cystidia with an invaginated apical end and ellipsoid to subovate basidiospores with a straight or concave side, indicate that the new species is the second member of  Leifia . Moreover, the phylogeny inferred from the ITS and 28S dataset also confirm the taxonomic position of  L. brevispora . The generic type of  Leifia ,  L. flabelliradiata , differs from  L. brevispora by having longer basidiospores (4.5-5.5  × 2-2.5  µm ) and a distribution in Europe (Eriksson et al. 1981). </p>
