A new species and a new combination of Terriera based on morphological and molecular data

A new Terriera species, T. elliptica on twigs of Rhododendron sp., was reported from Yunnan Province, China. T. elliptica is similar to Lophodermium camelliicola in morphology and affiliation, but differs in having elliptic, non-curved ascomata and larger asci. In addition, ITS rDNA sequences of the two species differ significantly. Based on morphological and molecular analyses, L. camelliicola was transferred to Terriera.
