A new species of Coccomyces (Rhytismatales, Ascomycota) on Ilex elmerrilliana
Coccomyces ilicis sp. nov. is described, illustrated, and compared with similar taxa. This fungus was collected from fallen leaves of Ilex elmerrilliana in Mt Huangshan of Anhui Province, China. It differs from the closest relatives, C. noosanus and C. limitatus,
by its much wider asci and the absence of an excipulum and epithecium. The type specimen is deposited in the Reference Collection of Forest Fungi of Anhui Agricultural University, China (AAUF).
