A new genus Guayaquilia is established to accommodate Idriella cubensis based on morphology and phylogenetic analysis. DNA sequence data place these specimens as incertae sedis separate from Microdochiaceae (Xylariales), forming a monophyletic lineage separated from Neoidriella desertorum and phylogenetically distant from Idriella. The novel genus is characterized by macronematous, tree-like, fasciculate, profuse dichotomously, alternately, or irregularly branched, brown conidiophores with polyblastic, denticulate, sympodial extended, intercalary and terminal conidiogenous cells that produce solitary, sublunate, subnavicular, lunate, inequilateral, (0–)1-septate, hyaline conidia.

The generic taxonomy of the Nothofagaceae is revised. We present a new phylogenetic analysis of morphological characters and map these characters onto a recently published phylogenetic tree obtained from DNA sequence data. Results of these and previous analyses strongly support the monophyly of four clades of Nothofagaceae that are currently treated as subgenera of Nothofagus. The four clades of Nothofagaceae are robust and well-supported, with deep stem divergences, have evolutionary equivalence with other genera of Fagales, and can be circumscribed with morphological characters. We argue that these morphological and molecular differences are sufficient for the four clades of Nothofagaceae to be recognised at the primary rank of genus, and that this classification will be more informative and efficient than the currently circumscribed Nothofagus with four subgenera.        Nothofagus is recircumscribed to include five species from southern South America, Lophozonia and Trisyngyne are reinstated, and the new genus Fuscospora is described. Fuscospora and Lophozonia, with six and seven species respectively, occur in New Zealand, southern South America and Australia. Trisyngyne comprises 25 species from New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. New combinations are provided where necessary in each of these genera.

The Genera of Fungi series, of which this is the sixth contribution, links type species of fungal genera to their morphology and DNA sequence data. Five genera of microfungi are treated in this study, with new species introduced in Arthrographis, Melnikomyces, and Verruconis. The genus Thysanorea is emended and two new species and nine combinations are proposed. Kramasamuha sibika, the type species of the genus, is provided with DNA sequence data for first time and shown to be a member of Helminthosphaeriaceae (Sordariomycetes). Aureoconidiella is introduced as a new genus representing a new lineage in the Dothideomycetes.

A new orchid species, Liparis wenshanensis, discovered in Yunnan, China is described and illustrated in this study based on morphological and molecular analyses. A detailed comparison between the newly discovered orchid and other members of the genus, Liparis, was conducted. The new plant is characterized by the combination of the following features: a long rachis with 45 to 55 flowers; white sepals, petals and column; a greenish lip with a purplish center; strongly recurved and revolute dorsal sepals and petals; strongly recurved, oblong lateral sepals; a cordate lip that is strongly deflexed below the middle, with a two-lobed apex and a two-lobed callus at the base; an arcuate column with a lamella extending along the center almost to the stigma, and with a pair of broad wings toward the apex. These features distinguish the new orchid from all other known species of Liparis. We proceeded to a phylogenetic analysis to ascertain the systematic position of this enigmatic species. Molecular analyses based on nuclear ribosomal ITS and plastid matK DNA sequence data supports the recognition of L. wenshanensis as a distinct species.

Three recent phylogenetic studies have used DNA sequence data to examine evolutionary relationships in Amsinckiinae (Boraginaceae). In each of these studies, the genus Plagiobothrys Fisch. & C. A. Mey. has been recovered as non-monophyletic. So that only monophyletic groups are recognized, two new genus names are provided here: Amsinckiopsis (I. M. Johnst.) Guilliams, Hasenstab & B. G. Baldwin and Simpsonanthus Guilliams, Hasenstab & B. G. Baldwin. The new combination P. collinus (Phil.) I. M. Johnst. var. pringlei (Greene) Guilliams & B. G. Baldwin is given for plants from Arizona that were found to be phylogenetically nested within P. collinus. The genus name Sonnea Greene is lectotypified.

The present paper represents the fifth contribution in the Genera of Fungi series, linking type species of fungal genera to their morphology and DNA sequence data. This paper focuses on 11 genera of microfungi, for seven of which the type species are neo- or epitypified here: Arthrinium (Arthrinium caricicola; Apiosporaceae, Xylariales, Sordariomycetes), Ceratosphaeria (Ceratosphaeria lampadophora; Magnaporthaceae, Magnaporthales, Sordariomycetes), Dimerosporiopsis (Dimerosporiopsis engleriana; Venturiaceae, Venturiales, Dothideomycetes), Hormodochis (Hormodochis melanochlora; Stictidaceae, Ostropales, Ostropomycetidae, OSLEUM clade, Lecanoromycetes), Lecanostictopsis (Lecanostictopsis kamatii; Mycosphaerellaceae, Capnodiales, Dothideomycetes), Lembosina (Lembosina aulographoides; Lembosinaceae fam. nov., Lembosinales ord. nov., Dothideomycetes), Neomelanconium (Neomelanconium gelatosporum; Cenangiaceae, Helotiales, Leotiomycetes), Phragmotrichum (Phragmotrichum chailletii; Melanommataceae, Pleosporales, Pleosporomycetidae, Dothideomycetes), Pseudomelanconium gen. nov.
