Abstract

The family Orbiliaceae belongs to Orbiliales, Orbiliomycetes, Pezizomycotina and Ascomycota. It presently includes Orbilia, Hyalorbilia, and Pseudorbilia, which have caused more attention in due that some members of their 10 anamorphic genera are the nematode-trapping fungi. During the survey of the distribution of Orbiliaceae since the summer of 2005, three new records including Orbilia xanthostigma, Orbilia tenebricosa, Hyalorbilia fusispora and new distribution of five known Hyalorbilia species are firstly reported from Mainland China and provided clearer illustrations.

Key words: Orbiliaceae, Orbilia xanthostigma, Orbilia tenebricosa, taxonomy.
