Sheathia jiugongshanensis HAN, NAN ET XIE sp. nov. ( Fig. 2. a–c View FIGURE 2 )
Description:—Known only from the “ Chantransia ” sporophyte generation. Tuft-shape, with reddish thallus, 6.3–10.0 mm length, with erect and densely branched filaments, branch angle> 25°. Vegetative cells are cylindrical, 42.2–55.6 μm in length and 8.9–12.2 μm in diameter; reproduction by abundant ovoid or sub-spherical monosporangia, 7.8–11.1 μm in length and 5.6–7.8 μm in diameter.
Diagnosis: ―Diagnostic DNA sequence: rbc L and psb A (accession number: MK746106 for rbc L and MK746108 for psb A).
Type locality: CHINA, Hubei Province, Jiugong Mountain (29.428°N, 114.702°E): on the surface of a stone in flowing water.
Holotype here designated: SXU-HB17926, Dried material prepared from reference strain HB26 , Shanxi University Herbarium ( SXU), Shanxi University , Taiyuan , Shanxi Province, China. September 2017 by Fang-Ru Nan, Kun-Peng Fang, and Sheng-Li Shi.
Paratype here designated: SXU-HB17927, Preserved samples in 4% formalin solution, prepared from reference strain HB26, Shanxi University Herbarium (SXU), Shanxi University, Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, China.
Etymology: The species epithet refers to the type locality (Jiugong Mountain, China).
Authentic strain: SXU-HB17926.
Sheathia shimenxiaensis HAN, NAN ET XIE sp. nov. ( Fig. 2. h–k View FIGURE 2 )
Description:—Known only from the “ Chantransia ” sporophyte generation. Tuft-shape, with a brownish thallus, 4.8–9.4 mm length, with erect and densely branched filaments, branch angles ≥ 25°. Vegetative cells are cylindrical, 28.9–50.0 μm in length, and 7.8–11.1 μm in diameter; reproduction by abundant ovoid or sub-spherical monosporangia, 6.7–11.1 μm in length and 5.6–10.0 μm in diameter.
Diagnosis: ―Diagnostic DNA sequence: rbc L and psb A (accession number: MN272375 for rbc L and MN272376 for psb A).
