054B87DBFFA9FF8FFF6A9201EF89C293.taxon	discussion	Notes: The nucleotide BLAST search of ITS sequence indicated that Parabambusicola yunnanensis (GMBCC 1128 and ZHKUCC 22 - 0290) is similar to P. bambusina strain H 4321 (87.42 % similarity under 85 % query cover), and strain KT 2637 (87.23 % similarity under 85 % query cover). Nucleotide BLAST results of LSU sequence showed that P. yunnanensis (GMBCC 1128 and ZHKUCC 22 - 0290) is similar to P. aquatica strain MFLUCC 18 - 1140 (97.88 % similarity under 97 % query cover), and P. bambusina strain H 4321 (87.43 % similarity under 98 % query cover). Based on a nucleotide pairwise comparison of ITS and LSU sequences showed that P. yunnanensis differs from P. aquatica (MLFUCC 18 - 1140, type strain) in 118 / 510 bp of ITS (23.1 %), and 35 / 859 bp of LSU (3.03 %). Parabambusicola yunnanensis differs from P. bambusina (H 4321, KT 2637, KH 139) in 124 / 536 bp of ITS (23.1 %), and 26 / 858 bp of LSU (1.42 %). Parabambusicola yunnanensis differs from P. hongheensis in 130 / 536 bp of ITS (24.2 %), and 37 / 858 bp of LSU (4.3 %). Our new species also differs from P. thysanolaenae (KUMCC 18 - 0147, type strain) in 136 / 536 bp of ITS (25.3 %), and 33 / 858 bp of LSU (3.8 %). Morphology of the new collection shares similar general characteristics with Parabambusicola in having immersed, raised ascomata, cylindrical, short, furcate-basedpedicellate asci with an ocular chamber and hyaline, fusiform, septate ascospores (Tanaka et al. 2015, Phookamsak et al. 2019, Dong et al. 2020, Xie et al. 2022). However, P. yunnanensis can be distinguished from P. aquatica and P. thysanolaenae in having 3 - septate ascospores, while P. aquatica has 5 - septate ascospores, P. thysanolaenae has 5 – (6 – 7) - septate ascospores (Phookamsak et al. 2019, Dong et al. 2020). In addition, P. yunnanensis has longer asci (130 – 180 × 20 – 30 μm vs. 86 – 150 × 22 – 30 μm) than P. bambusina (Tanaka & Harada 2003, Tanaka et al. 2015). Parabambusicola hongheensis has wider peridium (20 – 75 µm vs. 8 – 15 µm) and wider ascospores (50 – 55 × 12 – 15 μm vs. 40 – 55 × 5 – 8 μm) than P. ynnanensis (Xie et al. 2022). Detailed morphological characteristics are mentioned in Table 2. Phylogenetic analyses also proved that the new strains formed a well-separated branch with other species of Parabambusicola (100 % ML and 1.00 PP, Figure 1). Based on morphological and phylogenetic studies, our new collection of Parabambusicola is introduced as a new species occurring on bamboo from China.	en	Han, Li-Su, Dai, Dong-Qin, Du, Tian-Ye, Wijayawardene, Nalin N., Promputtha, Itthayakorn, Bhat, D.
