Most species of the genus Leucoagaricus have been described from temperate regions in North America and Europe, but little is known about the genus from tropical areas. In this report we describe two new species of Leucoagaricus, namely La. flavovirens and La. atroazureus, from tropical China. The two species are characterized by turning blue-green or dark blue where bruised and by unique phylogenetic placement. Two new combinations, namely La. viriditinctus and La. caerulescens, are proposed. A collection examined and cited under the name of La. viridiflavus by Kumar & Manimohan (2009b), who designated the neotype of the species, (Petch) TKA Kumar & Manimohan, was found to differ from La. flavovirens based on morphology and ITS sequence comparison. [corrected] A monophyletic group of four bluing species from Old World tropics is recovered but with poor measures of branch
大多数 Leucoagaricus 属的物种都分布在北美的温带地区和欧洲,但热带地区的该属物种知之甚少。在本报告中,我们描述了来自热带中国的两种新的 Leucoagaricus 物种,即 La. flavovirens 和 La. atroazureus。这两个物种的特征是在受伤时变为蓝绿色或深蓝色,并且具有独特的系统发育位置。提出了两个新的组合,即 La. viriditinctus 和 La. caerulescens。在库马尔和马尼莫汉(2009b)的研究中,曾以 Leucoagaricus viridiflavus 的名称检查和引用了一个集合物种,他们指定了该物种的模式种(Petch)TKA Kumar & Manimohan,基于形态和 ITS 序列比较,被发现与 La. flavovirens 不同。在旧世界热带地区发现了一个由四个蓝化物种组成的单系群,但分支的度量值较差。
