Stipamyces pinicola Lan Zhuo & C. L. Hou 2025, comb. nov.

Stipamyces pinicola (R. H. Lei & C. L. Hou) Lan Zhuo & C. L. Hou comb. nov. Coccomyces pinicola R. H. Lei & C. L. Hou, Mycotaxon 123: 125. 2013. Basionym. Type. CHINA, Yunnan Province, Lijiang, Tiejiashan, alt. ca. 2000 m, on twigs of Pinus armandii (Pinaceae), 11 Jul. 2007, C. L. Hou, HOU 486 A (BJTC 201202, holotype); HOU 486 B (BJTC 201212, isotype). Specimens examined. CHINA, Anhui Province, Yuexi, Miaodaoshan, on twigs of Pinus taiwanensis Hayata (Pinaceae), 11 Jul. 2007, C. L. Hou, HOU 538 (BJTC 201252); CHINA, Yunnan Province, Lijiang, Laojunshan, 26.6663°N, 99.9388°E, alt. ca. 2345 m, on twigs of Pinus yunnanensis Franch. (Pinaceae), 16 Jul. 2020, C. L. Hou, HOU 1618 (BJTC 2020060). Notes. Lei et al. (2013) placed Co. pinicola within the genus Coccomyces based on morphological characteristics with species of Coccomyces. Coccomyces pinicola clustered weakly with Colpoma quercinum in their study. After incorporating sequences from additional specimens, our phylogenetic analysis indicates that these sequences of Co. pinicola form a well-supported clade (MLB = 100 %, MPB = 82 %, PP = 1.00) together with sequences of S. massonianae, and are only distantly related to Col. quercinum. Coccomyces pinicola and S. massonianae present similar characteristics of ascomata and ascospores, thus Coccomyces pinicola is transferred to Stipamyces here. For a detailed description of this species see Lei et al. (2013).
