Five new species of from moist soils in China.

isolates were collected from moist soils near a water source in different areas of China. ITS sequences were submitted to MIST (Multiloci Identification System for ) and meets the [ITS] standard. Combined analyses of phylogenetic analyses of both phylograms (-α and ) and morphological characteristics, revealed five new species of , namely , , , and . Phylogenetic analyses showed and belong to the Polysporum clade, , while and belong to the Viride clade. Each new taxon formed a distinct clade in phylogenetic analysis and have unique sequences of -α and that meet the new species standard. The conidiation of typically appeared in white pustules in concentric rings on PDA or MEA and its conidia had one or few distinctly verrucose. Conidiophores of are short and rarely branched, phialides usually curved and irregularly disposed. The aerial mycelium of and formed strands to floccose mat, conidiation tardy and scattered in tufts, conidiophores repeatedly rebranching in dendriform structure. The phialides of lageniform are curved on PDA and its conidia are globose to obovoidal and large.
