title: New trichomycetes from western China.
abstract: Data on trichomycete biodiversity in China is expanded with the description of three new fungal species, Legeriomyces grandis, Legeriosimilis elegans, Smittium shaanxiense, and a protist, Paramoebidium bacillare. The geographical distribution for the harpellid species, Glotzia ephemeridarum, Smittium culicis and Stachylina gravicaudata, is extended with their collection in western China, and five species previously known from Asia are also reported here.
