Summary: Mallomonas is the largest and most speciose genus within the Synurales. Recent discoveries of fossil species have shown that their scales and cell size were larger than those of modern species. These fossils were likely slow swimmers and required significant energy to maintain their position in the water column.

Summary: The monotypic family Deuterophlebiidae of China has been recorded only twice previously from far northwest based on adults, leaving a significant knowledge gap in their morphology, diversity, biology, and distribution across most parts of the country. Through deliberate collection and rearing in recent years, more than one thousand specimens of Deuterophlebiidae were obtained, resulting in the identification of five new species. Detailed descriptions and photographs of different life stages of these new species are provided. Additionally, genetic distances between species are calculated based on their COI genes. This study represents the first comprehensive database on Deuterophlebiidae from China, shedding light on their distribution pattern and contributing to our understanding of their origin and biogeography.

Summary: Three Dysteria species were collected and studied based on their morphology, infraciliature, and molecular data. A new species, D. paracrassipes, was identified and found to be very similar to D. crassipes in most features, except for the preoral kinety. The genetic diversity between D. crassipes populations was high, indicating potential cryptic species. Additionally, morphological differences were observed in populations of D. brasiliensis, despite having identical molecular sequences.

Summary: Five new Cortinarius species are described based on morphological and molecular evidence. Phylogenetic analysis and field emission scanning electron microscopy were performed to support the species identification. An identification key for these new species and related species in China is provided.

Summary: During faunal studies of psammophilic ciliates along the coast of Qingdao, China, several marine karyorelictean species were isolated. Among them, four species within the genus Remanella were investigated, including two new species. The study provides detailed morphological characters and phylogenetics for Remanella rugosa, and elevates Remanella rugosa var. unicorpusculata to species level.

Summary: The genus Spumella, characterized by omnivory and two flagella, has shown paraphyly and recently proposed seven new species. Limited by their difficulty in identification based on morphology, the classification and diversity of Spumella remain constrained.

Summary: By analyzing the genetic diversity and morphological traits of 90 accessions of Vitis species and hybrids, we identified three clades in North America, one in East Asia, and one in Europe corresponding to V. vinifera. We also found evidence of hybridization and significant correlations between traits and phylogeny. The American clade, including important species like V. riparia and V. rupestris, showed significant divergence from other clades.

Summary: We discovered a new genus (Grylloprimevala Zhou & Ren gen. nov.) and a new species (Grylloprimevala jilina Zhou & Ren sp. nov.) from a natural cave in the primeval forest of Jilin Province, China, based on morphological, behavioral, and molecular evidence. Grylloprimevala gen. nov. differs from other Grylloblattodea genera primarily in morphological characters, and the new species, G. jilina sp. nov., exhibits typical troglobite characteristics in behavior. Molecular phylogenetic analysis supports the morphological delimitation of G. jilina sp. nov. Our findings contribute to the identification and conservation of Grylloblattodea in China.

Summary: A systematic study of Corydalis with 530 species revealed three subgenera, 25 sections, and one series as monophyletic, and proposed a new classification with four subgenera, 39 sections, including 16 consistent with previous classification, 16 recircumscribed, one reinstated, and six newly established sections.

Summary: This study identified five new Inosperma species from China and conducted morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses. The neurotoxin content in these five species was investigated using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, revealing variations in neurotoxin contents.
