Hodophilus pseudoglabripes, a new species with a strong earthy odor, was found in forests dominated by Castanopsis (Fagaceae) in northern Thailand. This species is introduced with microscopic and macroscopic descriptions and colour photographs. Phylogenetic affinities were determined based on a combination of internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and large subunit (nrLSU) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA). The new species was placed in Hodophilus, within an independent clade comprising the other two species from Asia, H. glabripes and H. indicus. This is the first report of the genus Hodophilus in Thailand. An updated key to all members of the genus Hodophilus is also provided.

Phallus aureus is described as a new species from China and is characterized by an obovate, rugose, squamulose on the immature basidiomata surface, pseudostipe yellowish, grey volva, and pale yellow at the base becoming light yellow upwards. The new species is phylogenetically located in an independent lineage. A full description, colour photographs, illustrations, and a phylogenetic tree to show the position of new species are provided.

Holotype:— THAILAND, Chiang Mai Province, Mae Taeng District, Pa Pae Sub-district, 19°14.66’N, 98°38.61’E, 850 m a.s.l., 14 August 2020, collected by Song-Ming Tang (MFLU21-0005, holotype!; HKAS110665 isotype!). Diagnosis:— Hodophilus pseudoglabripes is similar to H. glabripes Ming Zhang, C.Q. Wang & T.H. Li, but can be distinguished by its pileus slightly striated near-margin and flocculose with age, white to the greyish yellow stipe, as well as its smaller basidiomata. Description: Basidiomata small to medium-sized. Pileus 11–25 mm diam., hemispherical at first, then convex to plano-convex, often with a slight depression at the center, surface smooth when young, becoming slightly striate near margin and flocculose with age, when wet translucently striated halfway to the disc, hygrophanous, white (1A1) to yellowish white (1A2) when young, later greyish yellow (1B4) to light orange (5A5), when dry uniformly pale at center. Pileus context up to 1.5 mm thick, white (1A1). Lamellae number 16–20, white (1A1) when young, light orange (5A5) to greyish orange (5B5) when old, 3–4 mm wide, lamellullae frequent, in (1–) 2 tiers. Stipe 34–64 × 2–3 mm, surface smooth, white (1A1), central, usually flexuous, hollow, and narrowing downwards, becoming greyish yellow (2B3) near the base, hollow when mature. Odor strong earthy. Basidiospores (103/5/2) (4.0–) 4.3–6.2 (–6.3) × (3.4–) 3.5–5.5 (–5.6) μm, av. 5.2–4.6 μm, Q (length/width) = 1.00–1.44 (–1.57), av. Q=1.14, globose to subglobose, smooth, thin-walled.

Seven subspecies have been recognized in this species (Gupta & Jonathan 2003). We checked all specimens in RMNH, including the types of the nominate subspecies, and the related literature. It is easy to separate them into two groups by absence or presence of vein 2r-m of the fore wing: the vein is absent in bariensis (Tsuneki), billitonensis (Tullgren), modesta (Smith), terminata (Smith), and present in formosana (Betrem), marginella (Klug), and thaiana (Tsuneki). The other differences concern the extent of yellow maculation of males and females.

Distribution. China (Neimenggu, Xinjiang); Afghanistan, Armenia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russian, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Notes. The male from China in RMNH identified as C. mongolica by Betrem (Fig. 1) has the head missing and differs from the nominate C. tartara (Fig. 2) because of the robust marginal cell of the fore wing (elongate in C. tartara); the medially interrupted yellow bands on the first two metasomal tergites (broad and continuous in C. tartara); and strongly constricted first metasomal tergite (less constricted in C. tartara). Colpa mongolica was treated as a subspecies of C. tartara (Osten 2005) or as a full synonym (Lelej & Mokrousov 2017); the reported flat surface of the area between the antennal sockets (“spatium frontale”) for C. mongolica is apparently a character too variable to be of any use to differentiate the species., Published as part of Liu, Zhen, Achterberg, Cornelis Van, He, Jun-Hua & Chen, Xue-Xin, 2021, A checklist of Scoliidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera) from China, pp. 101-126 in Zootaxa 4966 (2) on pages 105-107, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4966.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4736250, {"references":["Bradley, J.

We re-instate Scolia (Discolia) inouyei Okamoto, 1924 as a valid species, after examining a specimen from Yunnan. This species is clearly different from S. nobilis; the legs are reddish, with wings pale as the spots of the tergites, the pronotum dorso-posteriorly (“scapula”) bright yellow laterally, the lateral carina extending over the propodeal spiracle (just reaching to the spiracle in S. nobilis); the median suture of the frons (“frontal fissure”) absent (distinct in S. nobilis); the antenna longer, with penultimate joints nearly as long as wide (antenna distinctly shorter, with penultimate joints wider than long in S. nobilis); and the upper part of the metapleuron with sparse punctures only medially (largely densely punctate in S. nobilis)., Published as part of Liu, Zhen, Achterberg, Cornelis Van, He, Jun-Hua & Chen, Xue-Xin, 2021, A checklist of Scoliidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera) from China, pp. 101-126 in Zootaxa 4966 (2) on page 116, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4966.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4736250, {"references":["Okamoto, H.

24. Carinoscolia nipponensis (Uchida, 1933), new status Scolia (Carinoscolia) vittifrons f. nipponensis Uchida, 1933: 242, ♀, Japan (type in Entomological Museum, Sapporo). Scolia nipponensis fascinata var. nipponensis: Betrem, 1941: 114. Carinoscolia vittifrons nipponensis: Osten, 2005: 45. Distribution. China (Hubei, Sichuan); Japan and Korea. Notes. The status of C. nipponensis has been changed several times. Originally, it was described as a variety of C. vittifrons (Sichel) when found by Uchida in Japan for its black head, darker wings, and the very small spots on T 3 in both sexes (Uchida 1933). Betrem (1941) treated it as a variety of C. fascinata Smith by displaying the differences between C. fascinata and C. vittifrons. Osten (2005) treated it as a subspecies of C. vittifrons again. We found a male from Sichuan province of China (IOZ) and a female from Hubei (RMNH) of C. nipponensis, both are different from the nominate C. vittifrons. We consider C. nipponensis a separate species because of the distinct carina present on the area between the antennal sockets (“frontal spatium”) in both sexes and the nearly completely dark integument of both sexes., Published as part of Liu, Zhen, Achterberg, Cornelis Van, He, Jun-Hua & Chen, Xue-Xin, 2021, A checklist of Scoliidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera) from China, pp. 101-126 in Zootaxa 4966 (2) on page 112, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4966.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4736250, {"references":["Uchida, T.

Scolia (Carinoscolia) yunnanensis tibetensis Betrem, 1941: 116. (♀, type in Cornell University, Ithaca). Distribution. China (Fujian, Xizang, Yunnan); Japan and Vietnam. Notes. Scolia (Carinoscolia) yunnanensis tibetensis Betrem was reported as a subspecies of C. yunnanensis Betrem, 1941. Betrem (1941) mentioned some differences between them: only T3 with yellowish brown spots, metasoma with blue reflections, wings brownish, but not dark, with golden reflections and carina on frons indistinct, S2 with a distinct tubercle in C. tibetensis. We did not have the chance to examine the specimen from Tibet, but we found a female of C. yunnanensis (det. Betrem, 1967) in RMNH from Fujian, which has the characters of C. tibetensis displayed above, to be conspecific with specimens of nominate C. yunnanensis; both shared some characters of C. tibetensis and, therefore, we synonymize both subspecies., Published as part of Liu, Zhen, Achterberg, Cornelis Van, He, Jun-Hua & Chen, Xue-Xin, 2021, A checklist of Scoliidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera) from China, pp. 101-126 in Zootaxa 4966 (2) on page 113, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4966.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4736250, {"references":["Betrem, J.
