Paraisaria anhuiensis differs from P. rosea in that its stromata emerge from the larval head and feature a pale-yellow fertile head, whereas P. rosea produces stromata from the middle part of the larval body, with a pink fertile head (Wei et al. 2021). Pairwise sequence comparison shows 2.16 % (10 / 463 bp) in ITS, 0.58 % (5 / 850) in tef - 1 α, 1.58 % (10 / 632 bp) in rpb 1 and 1.71 % (17 out of 992 bp) in rpb 2 between P. anhuiensis and P. rosea (Wei et al. 2021) . Hence, we describe Paraisaria anhuiensis as a new species, based on its distinctive morphology and molecular evidence.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/92BC5B3564105152B6AF434DA11CD751	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The host of P. coleopterorum is the larva of Coleoptera, while P. orthopterorum infects Orthoptera nymphs (Mongkolsamrit et al. 2019). Compared to P. orthopterorum, P. coleopterorum produces longer and thinner perithecia (620–680 × 110–156 μm vs. 520–650 × 150–250 μm); L / W ratio 4.9 vs. 2.9) and longer asci (510–590 × 4.6–6.2 μm vs. 400 × 5 μm; L / W ratio 101.9 vs. 80) (Mongkolsamrit et al. 2019).

It shares highly similar sequences with P. tettigoniae across multiple loci (SSU, tef - 1 α and rpb 1), whereas P. tettigoniae shows anomalous divergence. Further inspection indicates that the ITS sequence of P. tettigoniae (GenBank accession: KT 345954) may be problematic, possibly due to sequencing errors or intragenomic variation. Therefore, this ITS sequence (strain GZUH CS 14062709) was excluded from our analysis. Paraisaria tettigoniae was originally described from Guizhou, China, based on its sexual morph parasitising adult Orthoptera (Wen et al. 2016). Our collection, also from Guizhou, represents the asexual morph of the same species. Although minor morphological differences were observed — such as smaller perithecia (500–630 × 180–220 μm vs. 520–680 × 205–275 μm) and shorter asci (243–310 × 4.3–6.5 μm vs. 530–615 × 6.5–9.3 μm) — the multi-locus phylogenetic analysis (excluding the problematic ITS sequence) shows that our collection clusters with P. tettigoniae (Fig. 1). Therefore, based on both morphological characteristics and multi-locus phylogenetic evidence, our collection is identified as Paraisaria tettigoniae, representing the first report of its asexual morph.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/02E756DDD75259E88590F2F1F33E2EDB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
