038887ACFFB5646AFF79FC25FE2DD98A.taxon	etymology	Etymology: — Name refers the location where the fungus was collected, Guizhou province, China. Saprobic on decaying aerial stem. Sexual morph: Ascostromata 175 – 250 µm high × 220 – 285 µm diam. (x = 190 × 265 µm, n = 20), black, pseudothecial, solitary, initially immersed in host, erumpent at maturity, uniloculate. Peridium 50 – 80 μm thick, outer layer composed of heavily pigmented thick-walled cells of textura angularis, inner layer composed of hyaline thin-walled cells of textura angularis. Pseudoparaphyses up to 3 − 4 µm wide, hyphaelike, septate, slightly constricted at septum. Asci 78 – 92 × 23 – 27 µm (x = 85 × 24 µm, n = 25), 2 – 4 (– 6) - spored, bitunicate, fissitunicate, clavate, pedicellate, with a well-developed ocular chamber, arising from base of the ascoma. Ascospores 26 − 31 × 14 − 16 µm (x = 29 × 15 µm, n = 40), uniseriate or irregularly biseriate, initially hyaline and aseptate, becoming pigmented brown and 1 - septate, ovate to subclavate, constricted at septum, thick-walled. Asexual morph: Conidiomata 95 – 151 µm high × 114 – 294 µm diam. (x = 129 × 187 µm, n = 20), immersed, arranged singly or in small groups within the bark, globose to subglobose, dark brown to black, solitary or gregarious. Ostiole central. Peridium 22 – 27 µm thick, outer layer composed of pigmented thick-walled cells of textura angularis, inner layer composed of hyaline thin-walled cells of textura angularis (3 – 5 - layered). Conidiogenous cells lining the inner surface of the conidioma, hyaline, short obpyriform to subcylindrical. Conidia 16 – 28 × 9 – 12 µm (x = 26 × 10, n = 40), ellipsoid to obovoid, immature conidia hyaline, mature conidia becoming medium to dark brown. Culture characteristics: — Ascospores germinating on WA within 18 h and producing germ tubes from the septum. Colonies growing on PDA, reaching a diam. of 4 cm after 3 d at 25 ° C, effuse, velvety, with entire to slightly undulate edge. Colonies initially white and later turning green.	en	Chen, Ya-Ya, Dissanayake, Asha J., Liu, Jian-Kui (2021): Additions to Karst Fungi 5: Sardiniella guizhouensis sp. nov.

038887ACFFB5646AFF79FC25FE2DD98A.taxon	materials_examined	Materials examined: — China, Guizhou province, Guiyang District, Xiaochehe wetland park, on decaying aerial stem, 20 May 2017, Y. Y. Chen, 18 - 53 (HKAS 113023, holotype; GZAAS 19 - 1809, isotype); ex-type living culture CGMCC 3.19222 (GZCC 19 - 0090); ibid, Huaxi wetland park, 16 April 2017, 19 - 62 (GZAAS 19 - 1935, paratype), living culture GZCC 19 - 0216; ibid, Libo District, Maolan nature reserve, 19 July 2017, 18 - 60 (GZAAS 19 - 1813, paratype), living culture GZCC 19 - 0094. Notes: — The phylogenetic results showed that six taxa clustered together and formed a well-supported clade (ML / MP / BI = 96 / 99 / 1.0) representing the genus Sardiniella (FIG. 1). Sardiniella guizhouensis can be distinguished from S. celtidis (9 / 631 in ITS and 24 / 364 in tef 1), and from S. urbana (5 / 839 in LSU, 6 / 631 in ITS and 25 / 364 in tef 1). In addition, Sardiniella guizhouensis differs from other two known Sardiniella species in having multiloculate conidiomata (FIG. 2 c, d). The sexual morph is known only in Sardiniella guizhouensis and thus no comparisons between species can be made.	en	Chen, Ya-Ya, Dissanayake, Asha J., Liu, Jian-Kui (2021): Additions to Karst Fungi 5: Sardiniella guizhouensis sp. nov.
