Abstract
Data on trichomycete biodiversity in China is expanded with the description of three new fungal species, Legeriomyces grandis, Legeriosimilis elegans, Smittium shaanxiense, and a protist, Paramoebidium bacillare. The geographical distribution for the harpellid species, Glotzia ephemeridarum, Smittium culicis and Stachylina gravicaudata, is extended with their collection in western China, and five species previously known from Asia are also reported here.
We thank Carolyn Bird, Chester Basin, Nova Scotia, for providing the Latin diagnoses and for making suggestions that helped improve the English versions of the descriptions. Dr RW Lichtwardt read a draft of the paper and offered helpful suggestions. Financial support for the field work was provided by the College of Life Science, Shaanxi Normal University (SNNU), and both SNNU and Saint Mary’s University provided money for travel to DBS. Mr Yi Bai assisted us in the field and with some of the dissections.
