A preliminary report on soil dematiaceous hyphomycetes from the three river gorge regions in eastern Tibet

A total of 47 isolates of soil dematiaceous hyphomycetes belonging to 29 species in 15 genera were found from the gorge regions of three rivers (the Jinsha River, the Nu River and the Lantsang River) in eastern Tibet. Most of the genera and species found are new for the regions. Among them Eladia tibetensis is a new species, and Scytalidium acidophilum and S. circinatum are new records to China. Latin description is given for the new species. Brief descriptions and illustrations of the new records are also given based on Chinese isolates. The other 26 species being previously known from China in several genera are also listed. Dried cultures and living cultures studied have been deposited in Herbarium of Shandong Agricultural University: Plant Pathology (HSAUP).
