| 7:51a | [Fungi • 2020] An Annotated Key to the Bovista (Lycoperdaceae, Basidiomycota) Species in Russia
Abstract The present paper deals with Bovista species diversity in Russia. Morphological features of the genus are presented as well as geographical distribution in Russia and globally. We present a phylogenetic tree and the correlation of molecular data and morphology is discussed. An identification key for 16 species known in Russia from herbarium collections is provided as well as SEM and LM images of basidiospores and capillitium of these species. According to morphological and genetic data three taxa are probably undescribed. We need additional collections for these species in order to describe them as new. The variability of the polymorphic Bovista aestivalis and some other species is discussed too. Keywords: distribution, gasteromycetes, Lycoperdon, phylogenetic tree, puffballs, Fungi  Yury A.

Abstract Nepenthes diabolica, a new species of tropical pitcher plant from Central Sulawesi, is described and illustrated. It is a high-montane, terrestrial to epiphytic taxon, distinguished by its elaborately flanged peristome and rufous, woolly pitcher indumentum. N. diabolica is a member of section Tentaculatae, showing morphological affinities with N. hamata. Nevertheless, the two species can be distinguished by morphological characters as well as by ecology and geography. A diagnostic key to the species of section Tentaculatae is provided. Owing to its highly restricted range, small number of recorded individuals, and desirability among plant collectors, the conservation status of N. diabolica is assessed as Critically Endangered under the IUCN criteria. Finally, N. hamata, until now based on lost types and mixed paratypes, is lectotypified using recently uncovered original material.
