摘要

A novel entomopathogenic fungus, Blackwellomyces napialus, which parasitizes Napialus hunanensis, is introduced from Guizhou Province, China. Blackwellomyces napialus is characterized by fleshy, orange-red stromata, flexuous, cylindrical stipes, clavate to baseball-bat shaped fertile parts, semi-immersed, ovoid perithecia, cylindrical asci with filiform, and multiseptate ascospores. The phylogenetic position of the new species within the genus Blackwellomyces (Cordycipitaceae) was determined through phylogenetic analyses of combined ITS, LSU, rpb1, rpb2, and tef1-α dataset. Samples of Bla. napialus were grouped together and formed a distinct clade separate from other species of Blackwellomyces. The distinctiveness of this species was strongly supported by phylogenetic, morphological and ecological evidence. The new species is formally described and illustrated.
