Abstract
Three new species of the genus Aleuroclava Singh viz., A. bannanensis sp. nov. (Yunnan: Xishuangbanna), A. rubi sp. nov. (Zhejiang: Hangzhou), and A. yunnanensis sp. nov. (Yunnan: Xishuangbanna) are described and illustrated. And four species of the genus, viz. A. bifurcata (Yunnan: Xishuangbanna), A. citrifolii (Yunnan: Xishuangbanna), A. pearlis (Yunnan: Xishuangbanna), and A. stereospermi (Yunnan: Pu’er) are new records to the known fauna of China. In addition, the seasonal dimorphism changes of A. montanus are recorded for the first time, and comments on its morphology are provided. This brings the number of Chinese species of Aleuroclava to 44. Images of the habitus, line illustrations, and scanning electron microscope photomicrographs are provided.
