Abstract
In this study, four new species of the genus Candolleomyces are described from Pakistan. Based on morphological and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses, we confirmed the distinction of these taxa. The newly identified species are designated as Candolleomyces conicus, C. denticulatus, C. kanhattiensis, and C. swaticus. The distinction of these species from previously known taxa in the genus was verified through comparisons of morphological features and phylogenetic analyses. Three of these species were collected from tropical plains, whereas C. swaticus was found in temperate mountainous regions. This distribution highlights the adaptability of the genus to diverse ecological niches across the country. A key to the Pakistani Candolleomyces species is also provided.
本文报道了巴基斯坦Candolleomyces属的4个新种。通过形态学和多位点系统发育分析，证实了这些分类群的区别。新鉴定的种分别为锥形Candolleomyces conicus， C. denticulatus， C. kanhattiensis和C. swaticus。通过形态特征和系统发育分析的比较，证实了这些物种与以前已知的属分类群的区别。其中3种来自热带平原，而C. swaticus主要分布于温带山区。这种分布突出了该属对全国不同生态位的适应性。还提供了巴基斯坦Candolleomyces物种的关键。
