Abstract
Oxneriaria sharanensis sp. nov., a new species in the Megasporaceae family, is described and illustrated from Pakistan. Its place in the genus Oxneriaria S.Y. Kondr. & Lőkös was validated by internal transcribed spacer-based genetic studies and a comparative morpho-anatomical investigation. Oxneriaria sharanensis sp. nov. is closely related to O. kohistaniensis R. Zulfiqar, K. Habib & Khalid. The distinguishing features of O. sharanensis sp. nov. are areoles 0.4–0.8 mm, upper surface creamy-whitish, apothecia pruinose, convex, 0.8–1.5 mm, hymenium 120–165 μm, hypothecium 90–95 μm and ascospores 18–25 × 11–14 μm. New species of the genus Oxneriaria S.Y. Kondr. & Lőkös is described in detail, together with their nrITS phylogeny.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
