Abstract

Based on the morphological and phylogenetic analyses, four specimens, which were collected from China and Thailand respectively, are identified as two novel species Nigrograna hydei and N. obtusispora and a new record N. magnoliae in the present study. These share morphologic characters typical of Nigrograna, and cluster together with existing Nigrograna species in the phylogenetic analyses of a combined ITS-TEF1-α sequence dataset. Illustrations and comprehensive descriptions for these taxa are provided.
