Abstract

Over 80 species of hypocrealean fungi are reported as pathogens of spiders and harvestmen. Among these fungi, the genus Gibellula is highly regarded as a specialised spider-killer that has never been reported to infect other arthropods. While more than 20 species of Gibellula are known, few attempts to identify the infected spiders have been made despite the fact that the host specificity can help identify the fungal species. Here, we morphologically describe and illustrate eight new species of Gibellula and three new records from Thailand of known species along with the multi-gene phylogeny that clearly showed the segregation among the proposed species. Examination of the Gibellula-infected spider hosts identified Oxyopidae, Uloboridae and, for the first time, the ant-mimicking genus Myrmarachne. Taxonomic novelties: New species: Gibellula brevistipitata Kuephadungphan, Tasanathai & Luangsa-ard, G. longicaudata Tasanathai, Kuephadungphan & Luangsa-ard, G. longispora Kuephadungphan & Luangsa-ard, G. nigelii Kuephadungphan, Tasanathai & Luangsa-ard, G. parvula Kuephadungphan, Tasanathai & Luangsa-ard, G. pilosa Kuephadungphan, Tasanathai & Luangsa-ard, G. solita Kuephadungphan, Tasanathai & Luangsa-ard, G. trimorpha Tasanathai, Khonsanit, Kuephadungphan & Luangsa-ard.

多焦点系统发育揭示了泰国专门的蜘蛛寄生真菌 Gibellula（Hypocreales，Cordycipitaceae）中隐藏的物种。

据报道，作为蜘蛛和禾本科动物病原体的下真菌有 80 多种。在这些真菌中，Gibellula 属被认为是专门的蜘蛛杀手，从未有报道称它会感染其他节肢动物。尽管已知吉贝菌属有 20 多个种类，但很少有人尝试鉴定受感染的蜘蛛，尽管寄主特异性有助于鉴定真菌种类。在此，我们从形态学角度描述并说明了吉贝菌的 8 个新种和来自泰国的 3 个已知物种的新记录，以及多基因系统发育，该系统发育清楚地显示了拟议物种之间的分离。对感染 Gibellula 的蜘蛛宿主的研究发现了 Oxyopidae、Uloboridae，并首次发现了模仿蚂蚁的 Myrmarachne 属。分类学上的新发现：新物种：Gibellula brevistipitata Kuephadungphan, Tasanathai & Luangsa-ard，G. longicaudata Tasanathai, Kuephadungphan & Luangsa-ard，G. longispora Kuephadungphan & Luangsa-ard，G. nigelii Kuephadungphan, Tasanathai & Luangsa-ard，G.parvula，Kuephadungphan，Tasanathai & Luangsa-ard，G. pilosa Kuephadungphan，Tasanathai & Luangsa-ard，G. solita Kuephadungphan，Tasanathai & Luangsa-ard，G. trimorpha Tasanathai，Khonsanit，Kuephadungphan & Luangsa-ard。引用：Kuephadungphan W, Petcharad B, Tasanathai K, Thanakitpipattana D, Kobmoo N, Khonsanit A, Samson RA, Luangsa-ard JJ (2022)。多焦点系统发育揭示了泰国专门的蜘蛛寄生真菌 Gibellula（Hypocreales，Cordycipitaceae）中隐藏的物种。Doi: 10.3114/sim.2022.101.04.

期刊介绍： The international journal Studies in Mycology focuses on advancing the understanding of filamentous fungi, yeasts, and various aspects of mycology. It publishes comprehensive systematic monographs as well as topical issues covering a wide range of subjects including biotechnology, ecology, molecular biology, pathology, and systematics. This Open-Access journal offers unrestricted access to its content. Each issue of Studies in Mycology consists of around 5 to 6 papers, either in the form of monographs or special focused topics. Unlike traditional length restrictions, the journal encourages submissions of manuscripts with a minimum of 50 A4 pages in print. This ensures a thorough exploration and presentation of the research findings, maximizing the depth of the published work.
