            <p> Ophiocordyceps ansiformis Hong Yu bis, D.X. Tang &amp; J. Zhao sp. nov.</p>
            <p>Fig. 4</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>Ansi- = handle, formis = forms, the epithet refers to ascospores having a handle-shape.</p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Ophiocordyceps ansiformis differs from closely-related species by producing lanceolate ascospores with a structure resembling a handle-shape in the middle, while  O. contiispora produces fusiform ascospores that do not exhibit a similar structure in the middle. </p>
            <p>Holotype.</p>
            <p> China, Yunnan Province, Jinghong City, Puwen Town. Infected  Colobopsis sp. (  Formicinae ) biting into a leaf of  Rubiaceae Juss., 22°31'24"N, 100°58'57"E, alt. 1,029 m, 02 October 2022, Hong Yu bis (YHH 2210036 - preserved in the Yunnan Herbal Herbarium). </p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p> Sexual morph: External mycelia produced from all orifices and sutures, brown at maturity. Stroma single, produced from dorsal pronotum, never branched, 25-28 mm in length, cylindrical, dark brown at maturity, light brown at the apical part. Fertile region of lateral cushions, 1-3, hemispherical, 1-1.3  × 0.7-1 mm. Perithecia immersed to partially erumpent, flask-shaped, (174-) 189-290  × 99-126 (-128)  μm , with short, exposed neck or ostiole. Asci 8-spored, hyaline, cylindrical, (88-) 92-108 (-112)  × 7-10 (-11)  μm . Ascus caps prominent, hemispherical, 4-6 (-7)  × 2-3 (-4)  μm .

            <p> Germination process: Ascospores released on agar germinated after 48 h to produce 1-2 capilliconidiophores, (54-) 60-79 (-84)  × 0.8-1.4  μm , bearing a terminal capilliconidium, hyaline, smooth-walled, limoniform, 6-10  × 3-4  μm , slightly narrowing apically. </p>

                 . Infected  Colobopsis sp. biting into a leaf of  Rubiaceae Juss., 22°31'24"N, 100°58'57"E, alt. 1,029 m, 02 October 2022, D.X. Tang (YHH 2210007)  . 
            </p>
            <p>Notes.</p>
            <p> Phylogenetic analyses showed that  O. ansiformis formed a sister lineage with  O. tortuosa and  O. contiispora , was clustered in the  O. unilateralis core clade, with statistical support from bootstrap proportions (BS = 85%) and Bayesian posterior probabilities (BPP = 95%) (Fig. 1).  Ophiocordyceps ansiformis was similar to  O. tortuosa and  O. contiispora in the same host  Colobopsis sp. (Fig. 2). However, it differed from  O. tortuosa and  O. contiispora in that it produced lanceolate ascospores and has a handle-shape in the middle (Table 3). </p>

            <p>Fig. 3</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> Tortuosa = tortuous, the epithet referred to the  “tortuous” arrangement of ascospores in the asci. </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> The difference between  Ophiocordyceps tortuosa and related species is that  Ophiocordyceps tortuosa produces lanceolate and obvious separate ascospores, while  O. contiispora produces fusiform and no obvious separate ascospores. </p>
            <p>Holotype.</p>
            <p> China, Yunnan Province, Puer City, Simao District. Infected  Colobopsis sp. (  Formicinae ) biting into a leaf of  Lauraceae Juss., 22°42'40"N, 100°57'28"E, alt. 1345 m, 03 October 2022, Hong Yu bis (YHH 2210035 - preserved in the Yunnan Herbal Herbarium). </p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p> Sexual morph: External mycelia produced from all orifices and sutures, often covering the host body, initially white turning brown. Stromata single to multiple, produced from dorsal pronotum, part branched, 16-24 mm in length, cylindrical, pale white to light brown, becoming pinkish at the apical part. Fertile region of lateral cushions, 1-3, commonly 2 per stroma, hemispherical, chocolate brown at maturity, 1-1.9  × 0.8-1.3 mm. Perithecia immersed to partially erumpent, flask-shaped, (211-) 218-298 (-305)  × (94-) 99-142 (-158)  μm , with short, exposed neck or ostiole. Asci 8-spored, hyaline, cylindrical, (92-) 96-132 (-134)  × 7-11 (-13)  μm . Ascus caps slightly prominent, hemispherical, 4-5  × (2-) 3-4  μm . Ascospores hyaline, thin-walled, lanceolate, tortuous arrangement in the ascus, 47-64  × 5-7  μm , 6-7-septate, gently curved at round apex, tapered end shorter than round apex. </p>
            <p> Asexual morph:  Hirsutella -A type associated with the apical part of stromata.  Hirsutella -C type produced from the leg and antennal joints. Phialides lageniform, 54-99  μm long, 4-6  μm width at base, tapering to a long neck, 1-2  μm in width. Conidia fusiform to limoniform, 6-8  × 3-5  μm , slightly narrowing at the top. </p>
            <p> Germination process: The released ascospores germinated within 48 h to produce 1-2 long and extremely narrow hair-like capilliconidiophores, (27-) 44-65 (-69)  × 1-2  μm , bearing a single terminal capilliconidium, (5-) 6-9  × 3-4 (-5)  μm , hyaline, smooth-walled, limoniform to fusiform, slightly narrowing and curved at the top. </p>
            <p> Host:  Colobopsis sp. (  Formicinae ). </p>
            <p>Habitat.</p>
            <p> Subtropical monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forest. Infected  Colobopsis sp. biting into a leaf of  Lauraceae Juss., from 1.2 to 2.4 m above the ground. </p>

                 . Infected  Colobopsis sp. biting into a leaf of  Lauraceae Juss., 22°42'40"N, 100°57'28"E, alt. 1,345 m, 03 October 2022, D.X. Tang (YHH 2210003, YHH 2210004, YHH 2210005, YHH 2210006)  . 
            </p>
            <p>Notes.</p>
            <p> In the phylogenetic tree, the new species  O. tortuosa was sister to  O. contiispora (Fig. 1: BS = 100%, BPP = 100%) within  O. unilateralis core clade (Fig. 1: BS = 100%, BPP = 100%).  Ophiocordyceps tortuosa was distinct from other species of the  O. unilateralis core clade in that it produced lanceolate, obvious separate and tortuous arrangement ascospores in the ascus and produced branched stromata, slightly narrowing conidia (Table 3). </p>
