Pleosporales is the largest order of Dothideomycetes. In recent years, systematics of Pleosporales have undergone considerable revisions. Dictyosporiaceae is one of the newly established families within this order proposed to accommodate holomorphic saprobic Dothideomycetes. Currently 18 genera are recognised in Dictyosporiaceae.
The new species, Jalapriya aquaticum sp. nov. and J. apicalivaginatum sp. nov. were collected from freshwater habitats in Gansu and Yunnan Provinces, China, respectively and are introduced, based on morphology and molecular analysis of combined ITS, LSU, SSU and TEF1-α sequence data. We also recovered one fresh collection of Dictyocheirospora vinaya D’souza, Bhat & K.D. Hyde, which is a new record for China. Jalapriya aquaticum differs from extant species of Jalapriya in rows converging at the apex and apical cells with spherical-like appendages. Jalapriya apicalivaginatum differs from extant species of Jalapriya in having the rows of conidia mostly arranged in a plane. The phylogenetic analysis place the new collections within Dictyosporiaceae (Pleosporales). Descriptions and illustrations of Jalapriya aquaticum, J. apicalivaginatum and Dictyocheirospora vinaya are provided. A synopsis of characters of species of Jalapriya is also provided.

Pleosporales is the largest order of Dothideomycetes. In recent years, various families and genera in the Pleosporales have undergone considerable revisions (

In this study, two new species Jalapriya aquaticum and J. apicalivaginatum and a new geographic record, Dictyocheirospora vinaya are introduced, based on morphology and phylogenetic analyses. Detailed descriptions and illustrations are provided.
Submerged woody substrates were collected from dynamic waters, Gansu and Yunnan Provinces and taken back to the laboratory in Zip-lock plastic bags. The samples were incubated in plastic boxes lined with moistened tissue paper at room temperature for one week. Methods of morphological observation and isolation follow
The pure cultures were developed by single spore isolation following the method provided by
Genomic DNA was extracted from fresh mycelia grown on PDA at room temperature. The EZ geneTM Fungal gDNA kit (GD2416) was used to extract DNA according to the manufacturer’s instructions. ITS, LSU, TEF1-α, SSU gene regions were amplified using the primer pairs ITS5/ITS4, LROR/LR5, EF1-983F/EF1-2218R and NS1/NS4. The final volume of the PCR reaction was 25 µl and contained 12.5 µl of 2 × Power Taq PCR MasterMix (a premix and ready-to-use solution, including 0.1 Units/µl Taq DNA Polymerase, 500 µM dNTP Mixture each (dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP), 20 mM Tris– HCl pH 8.3, 100 mM KCl, 3 mM MgCl2, stabiliser and enhancer), 1 μl of each primer (10 μM), 1 µl genomic DNA extract and 9.5 µl deionised water. The PCR thermal cycle programme for ITS, LSU, TEF1α and SSU amplification was as follows: initial denaturation of 94°C for 3 minutes, followed by 35 cycles of denaturation at 94°C for 45 seconds, annealing at 56°C for 50 seconds, elongation at 72°C for 1 minute and the final extension at 72°C for 10 minutes. PCR products were purified using minicolumns, purification resin and buffer according to the manufacturer’s protocols (Amershamproduct code: 27–9602–01). The sequencing works were carried by Tsingke Biological Engineering Technology and Services Co. Ltd (Yunnan, P.R. China).
Sequence data for relevant strains were downloaded from GenBank following recent publications (
Maximum Likelihood analysis was performed using RAxMLGUI v.1.3 (
RAxML tree generated from combined LSU, ITS, TEF1-α and SSU sequence data. Bootstrap support values for Maximum Likelihood (the first value) ≥ 75% and Bayesian posterior probabilities (the second value) ≥ 0.95 are placed near the branches as ML/BYPP. The tree is rooted to Periconia igniaria (CBS 379.86 and CBS 845.96). Newly-generated sequences are indicated in red and strains isolated from the holotype and reference specimens are indicated with a red superscript T.
Bayesian analysis was conducted with MrBayes v.3.1.2 (

Referring to the conidia with an apical mucilaginous sheath.
In the phylogenetic analysis, J. apicalivaginatum formed a distinct lineage within Jalapriya and close to Jalapriya sp. (19VA07); However, the morphology of Jalapriya sp. (19VA07) was not available, but phylogeny of J. apicalivaginatum and Jalapriya sp. are distinct. Jalapriya apicalivaginatum resembles J. pulchra and J. inflata in having each conidial row of cells with an apical hyaline, inflated, gelatinous subglobose, cap-like appendage. However, Jalapriya inflata is characterised by branched conidiophores, whereas conidiophores of J. apicalivaginatum are not differentiated. Jalapriya apicalivaginatum has fewer number of rows than those of J. pulchra (3–5 rows vs. 5–7 rows) and conidia are smaller than those of J. pulchra (24–47 × 17–31.5 µm vs. 32–46 × 23.5–31.5 μm) (

Referring to the species collected from aquatic habitats.
In the phylogenetic analysis, J. aquaticum nested in Jalapriya and sister to J. toruloides. Morphologically, J. aquaticum is similar to J. inflata in having 3–4 rows of conidia, but differs from J. inflat in the shape of the conidia, the cells of J. inflata are fuller and more three-dimensional. J. inflata arranged more loosely in the rows of conidia and J. aquaticum packed more tightly. J. aquaticum has larger conidia than those of J. inflata (22–53 × 16–24 vs. 28.5–38 × 14.5–21.5 μm). Jalapriya quaticum similar to J. pulchra in having appendages on the apical cells of the conidia, but differs in the rows of J. aquaticum not being separable without manual force.

Phylogenetic analysis
The combined ITS, LSU, TEF1-α and SSU dataset consisted 78 sequences representing all genera of the Dictyosporiaceae with Periconia igniaria (CBS 379.86 and CBS 845.96) as outgroup taxon. The best scoring RaxML tree with the final ML optimisation likelihood value of –20943.450686 is shown here (Fig.
Two newly-collected Jalapriya aquaticum isolates grouped with species of Jalapriya and basal to the genus with highly-supported value (100 ML/1.00 PP). Jalapriya apicalivaginatum formed a distinct lineage between J. toruloides and Jalapriya sp. (19VA07) with high bootstrap (97 ML/1.00 PP). Dictyocheirospora vinaya (HKAS 115802) clustered with its ex-type strains with high support (93 ML/1.00 PP).
Dictyosporiaceae accommodates a holomorphic group of Dothideomycetes, including 18 genera (
Currently, three species are accepted in Jalapriya, of which, J. toruloides (Corda) is a terrestrial species discovered by
