Abstract:
A new species namely Metarhizium gaoligongense collected from Gaoligong mountains, Yunnan Province, China, was described based on both morphology and multilocus (ITS, nrSSU, nrLSU, EF-1a, RPB1 and RPB2) phylogeny. M. gaoligongense was clustered in M. flavoviride complex which had 6 clearly separated individuals and it developed a wellsupported separate clade from other 5 allied species, being more close to M. koreanum and M. minus and closest to M. pemphigi. The microscopic characters of M. gaoligongense were also very similar to M. pemphigi, in accordance with phylogenic affiliation, while the culture characteristics on potato dextrose agar medium could obviously distinguish the two sister species. M. pemphigi colonies often developed radial constriction, showed emerald green, and diffused yellow-green pigmentation into medium. However, M. gaoligongense colonies were flat, green, without pigment diffusion into medium, often guttulated condensation on conidia layer surface.
