한국 특산종인 노각나무(Stewartia koreana Nakai ex Rehder)의 분류학적 위치를 재검토하기 위해, 노각나무와 근연 분류군의 외부형태와 ITS 염기서열을 조사하였다. 노각나무는 일본에 분포하는 S. pseudocamellia와 외부 형태적으로 매우 유사하였으나, 노각나무는 잎이 대형이고 소화경의 길이가 2.5 cm 이상인 점에서 S. pseudocamellia와 구별되었다. ITS 염기서열을 분석한 결과 노각나무는 S. pseudocamellia와 별개의 분계조를 형성하였다. 따라서 외부형태 및 ITS 염기서열 결과는 노각나무가 S. pseudocamellia와 다른 별개의 한국 특산종임을 지지해 주었다.

The genus Peronospora, an obligate biotrophic group belonging to Oomycota, causes serious damage to a variety of wild and ornamental plants, as well as cultivated crops, such as beet, rose, spinach, and tobacco. To investigate the diversity of Peronospora species parasitic to Stellaria and Pseudostellaria (Caryophyllaceae) plants in Korea, we performed a morphological analysis on dried herbarium specimens and molecular phylogenetic inferences based on internal transcribed spacer rDNA and cox2 mitochondrial DNA sequences. As a result, it was confirmed that there are four species of Peronospora parasitic to specific species of Stellaria and Pseudostellaria, all of which were hitherto unrecorded in Korea: P. alsinearum (ex Stellaria media), P. stellariae-aquaticae (ex Stellaria aquatica), P. stellariae-uliginosae (ex Stellaria alsine), and P. pseudostellariae (ex Pseudostellaria palibiniana). In addition, Peronospora specimens parasitic to Pseudostellaria davidii differed morphologically from P. pseudostellariae owing to the large and ellipsoidal conidia; this morphological discrepancy was also validated by the high genetic divergence between the two species. Peronospora casparyi sp. nov. is described and illustrated here.

Polysiphonia sensu stricto is characterized by having 4 ecorticate pericentral cells, rhizoids in open connection with the pericentral cells, four-celled carpogonial branches, spermatangial branches replacing the whole trichoblast, and tetrasporangia arranged in straight series. Polysiphonia ulleungensis sp. nov. is newly described from Sadongri, Ulleung Island, Korea, based on morphological and molecular evidence. It is mainly characterized by having ecorticate axes with 4 pericentral cells, apical cells transversely or obliquely divided, unicellular rhizoids in open connection with pericentral cells, very scarce trichoblasts and scar cells, procarps with a four-celled carpogonial branch, and spermatangial branches replacing the whole trichoblast. Polysiphonia ulleungensis is closely similar in morphology to P. atlantica sensu lato. We concluded that materials of P. atlantica sensu Nam and Kang from Korea correspond to P. ulleungensis. By contrast, the new species differs morphologically from the Atlantic specimens of P. atlantica as well as from P. atlantica sensu Kim and Lee from Korea. Morphological characteristics and rbcL sequence analyses support the taxonomic placement of P. ulleungensis within Polysiphonia sensu stricto.

한국산 대극속 3분류군에 대한 외부형태 형질과 학명을 재검토하였다. 줄기의 생장양상, 잎의 배열, 부속체의 유무, 자방 털의 유무, 종자의 형태 및 종부의 유무 등이 분류군들을 식별하는데 유용한 형질임이 확인되었다. 외부형태 형질, 기준표본 및 원기재문 등에 근거하여 낭독, 큰땅빈대 및 애기땅빈대의 정명은 E. fischeriana, E. hypericifolia 및 E. maculata로 밝혀졌으며, 정확한 종 동정을 위해 검색표를 제시하였다.

한국산 팥꽃나무과 분류군 5속 10종(Daphne속 5종, Diarthron속 1종, Edgeworthia속 1종, Stellera속 1종 및 Wikstroemia속 2종)에 대해 비교형태학적 연구를 수행하였다. 야외 조사와 국내외 주요 표본관에 소장된 표본을 이용하여 팥꽃나무의 주요 형태형질을 정의하고, 변이의 폭을 파악하여, 각 분류군의 한계를 설정하고 유연관계를 추론하였다. 그 결과 한국산 팥꽃나무과 분류군들은 형태형질에 의해서 뚜렷이 구분되었다. 팥꽃나무속의 경우 한국산 분류군만 고려하면 산닥나무속과 쉽게 구분되었으나, 팥꽃나무(D. genkwa)는 잎의 배열과 털의 분포 및 자방의 형태에 있어서 산닥나무속과 공통적인 특징을 보이고 있었다. Daphne group에 대해 보다 많은 분류군과 다른 종류의 형질분석을 통하여 자세한 연구가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

The crustose brown algal genus Endoplura has been known as a monotypic genus characterized by its intercalary plurangial reproductive structures composed of 2-4 separate parallel filaments terminated by 2-5 sterile cells and by containing several to many chloroplasts per cell. In this study, Endoplura jejuensis sp. nov. and E. koreana sp. nov. from Korea are newly described based on molecular and morphological analyses. Our phylogenetic analyses of the rbcL gene reveal that E. jejuensis sp. nov. and E. koreana sp. nov. are placed in the same clade with "E. aurea" from Japan with a strong bootstrap supporting value. E. jejuensis is characterized by small and light to dark brown crustose thalli of less than 1 cm diameter, tufts of hairs arising from the basal disc, plurangia composed mostly of two separate parallel reproductive filaments terminated by 2-4 sterile cells, and sessile unangia each with a single paraphysis. E. koreana is distinguished by olive or yellowish-brown crustose thalli of up to 3 cm diameter, tufts of hairs arising from the basal disc, and apical parts of erect filaments, plurangia with 2-5 separate reproductive filaments terminated by 2-8 sterile cells, and sessile unangia with 1-2 paraphyses. Our studies also show that "E. aurea" specimens from Japan may be recognized to be a different species from other Endoplura species.

Lactifluus (Pers.) Roussel is an ectomycorrhizal genus that was recently recognized to be distinct from the genus Lactarius. To date, 226 Lactifluus species have been reported worldwide. Misidentification of Lactifluus species is common because of intraspecific morphological variation, cryptic diversity, and the limited number of taxonomic keys available. Molecular data are indispensable for species delimitation; a multilocus phylogenetic analysis showed that most Asian Lactifluus species are not conspecific with morphologically similar species present on other continents. In particular, Korea has misused European and North American Lactifluus names. In this study, we evaluated the taxonomy of Lactifluus in Korea using both morphological and multilocus molecular (ITS, nrLSU, rpb1, and rpb2) data. We examined 199 Lactifluus specimens collected between 1980 and 2016, and a total of 24 species across the four Lactifluus subgenera were identified. All Korean species are distinct and clearly separated from European and North American species. Five taxa corresponded to previously described species from Asia and the remaining 19 taxa are confirmed as new species. Herein, we provide keys to the Korean Lactifluus species within their subgenera, molecular phylogenies, a summary of diversity, and detailed description of the new species.

Two new records of Trichocomaceae, namely Aspergillus allahabadii and Penicillium sizovae, were isolated in 2016 during a survey of fungal diversity in different crop fields locations in Gyeongnam, Korea. These species were identified based on morphological characters and phylogenetic analysis using internal transcribed spacer region and ${\beta}-tubulin$-encoding gene sequence data. A. allahabadii and P. sizovae have not yet been reported in Korea. Thus, this is the first report of these species in Korea, and their descriptions as well as details of their morphological characters are presented.

Soldanellonyx monardi Walter, 1919, a halacarid species is newly recorded from South Korea, as the second member for the freshwater halacarid mites in Korea after S. chappuisi Walter, 1917 reported from Gossi-gul Cave, a limestone cave at Yeongwol in 1968. It was collected from three wells in the southeastern part of Korean peninsula this year. Korean specimens are well accorded with S. monardi s. str. in having telofemur I less than 1.5 times longer than wide, two spiniform setae on the ventral side of tibia I, relatively longer anterior dorsal plate (slightly longer than its width and about half the length of posterior dorsal plate), and the posterior epimeral plates lacking a dorsal seta. Based on the Korean specimens, a brief table for the morphological differences between adult females and deutonymphs are provided, which shows a tendency of rather consistent increment according to growth in the number of spiniform dorsal setae on telofemora and genua of legs I and II, the number of perigenital setae, and the number of genital acetabula. In this paper, detailed redescription and a brief table for the morphological differences between adult females and deutonymphs of S. monardi are provided.

Paramyrothecium eichhorniae sp. nov. was observed and collected from Chiang Mai and Phetchaburi Provinces, Thailand. This new species is introduced based on morphological and molecular evidence. This fungus is characterized by its production of sporodochium conidiomata with a white setose fringe surrounding an olivaceous green to dark green slimy mass of conidia, penicillately branched conidiophores, and aseptate and cylindrical to ellipsoid conidia. Phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU rDNA, ITS rDNA, tef1, rpb2, tub2 and cmdA sequence data using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches placed the fungus in a strongly supported clade with other Paramyrothecium species in Stachybotryaceae (Hypocreales, Sordariomycetes). The descriptions of the species are accompanied by illustrations of morphological features, and a discussion of the related taxa is presented.
