Most studies on Geosmithia were carried out in North and South America and Europe, with only two species were reported from Taiwan, China. The aim of this study was to investigate the diversity of Geosmithia species in southern China. Field surveys in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi and Shanghai yielded a total of 76 fungal isolates from six beetle species. Isolates were grouped based on morphology. The ITS, β-tubulin and elongation factor 1-α gene regions of representatives of each group were sequenced. Phylogenetic trees were constructed based on those sequences. In total five species were identified, with one previously described species G. putterillii and four new species which were described as G. jiulianshanensis, G. jiangxiensis, G. formosana, and G. pulverea (Geosmithia sp. 3 and Geosmithia sp. 23) sp. nov., in this paper.","mimetype":"application/xml+jats"}],"refs":[],"contribs":[{"index":0,"raw_name":"Xiuyu Zhang","given_name":"Xiuyu","surname":"Zhang","role":"author","raw_affiliation":"Shandong Normal University","extra":{"seq":"first"}},{"index":1,"raw_name":"You Li","given_name":"You","surname":"Li","role":"author","raw_affiliation":"Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University"},{"index":2,"raw_name":"Meixue Dai","given_name":"Meixue","surname":"Dai","role":"author","raw_affiliation":"Shandong Normal University"},{"index":3,"raw_name":"Hongli Si","given_name":"Hongli","surname":"Si","role":"author","raw_affiliation":"Shandong Normal University"},{"index":4,"raw_name":"Guoyan Zhao","given_name":"Guoyan","surname":"Zhao","role":"author","raw_affiliation":"Shandong Normal University"},{"index":5,"raw_name":"Miroslav Kolařík","given_name":"Miroslav","surname":"Kolařík","role":"author","raw_affiliation":"Czech Academy of Sciences: Akademie ved Ceske republiky"},{"index":6,"raw_name":"Jiri Hulcr","given_name":"Jiri","surname":"Hulcr","role":"author","raw_affiliation":"University of Florida"},{"index":7,"raw_name":"Xiaoqian Jiang","given_name":"Xiaoqian","surname":"Jiang","role":"author","raw_affiliation":"Shandong Normal University"},{"index":8,"creator_id":"sspqexbkgrempgbraoit5jyqsq","raw_name":"Runlei Chang","given_name":"Runlei","surname":"Chang","role":"author","raw_affiliation":"Shandong Normal University"}],"license_slug":"CC-BY","publisher":"Research Square Platform LLC","ext_ids":{"doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-558245/v1"},"release_year":2021,"release_date":"2021-05-26","release_type":"post","work_id":"s573g44ztreonmmspmss6odwiy","title":"Geosmithia Species Associated With Bark Beetles From Southern China, With the Description of Four New Species","state":"active","ident":"u4pwcwrgabbxhp7dfjjp27jwb4","revision":"38d9fb1f-a3db-4cf8-b498-fc038e85fdce","extra":{"crossref":{"license":[{"URL":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","content-version":"unspecified","delay-in-days":0,"start":"2021-05-26T00:00:00Z"}],"type":"posted-content"}}}
