Abstract

Seven Melanoleuca taxa related to M. exscissa were studied based on macromorphological and micromorphological characters, and DNA sequences of three genes of recent collections and herbarium specimens. One species, M. griseobrunnea from the Korea is described as new to science. The type specimens of M. cinerascens, M. diverticulata, M. kuehneri, M. meridionalis, M. subexcentrica, M. stepposa and M. tristis are revised by micromorphological description and DNA sequencing of ITS region. The type analysis confirmed M. cinerascens, M. kuehneri and M. meridionalis are conspecific with M. exscissa and M. subexcentrica is conspecific with M. diverticulata. The lectotype and epitype of M. exscissa and neotype of M. rasilis are proposed here.
