ABSTRACT
In a continued effort to catalog the numerous phylogenetically detected and
predicted species of Cora in the Americas, we focus here on the diversity of the genus in
Mexico and the phylogenetic relationships of the taxa present in this area. Based on previous
results and new collections, 12 taxa are recognized in Mexico, including eight new
species and one new subspecies. The 12 taxa form 11 unrelated lineages within the genus,
indicating multiple independent colonization from Central and South America. While the
new subspecies is nested within a species known from the northern Andes in South America,
the other species are all putative endemics for Mexico, resulting in endemism of 92%
at species level and 100% at taxon level. Considering the rather narrow area of origin of
the sequenced specimens in southeastern Mexico and the previously documented range of
Cora including the northwestern part of the country, plus the underlying topography, we
predict that the 12 species and subspecies now known represent only about 20% of the total
richness of Cora in the country, and that many more endemic lineages are to be found in
the western and northwestern parts (Sierra Madre Occidental). The new taxa from Mexico
formally introduced in this study are Cora benitoana sp. nov., with a strongly projecting,
cyphelloid hymenophore; C. buapana sp. nov., with elongate, finger-like and partly branched
appendages on the lower medullary hyphae; C. dewisanti subsp. mexicana subsp. nov., with
a marginally protruding hymenophore; C. guzmaniana sp. nov., with a partly setose lobe
surface; C. ixtlanensis sp. nov., a phenotypically cryptic species similar but unrelated to
C. terrestris; C. lawreyana sp. nov., with globose hyphal appendages; C. marusae sp. nov.,
a phenotypically cryptic species similar but unrelated to C. comaltepeca; C. totonacorum
sp. nov., a phenotypically cryptic species similar but phylogenetically distant to C. davidia;
and C. zapotecorum sp. nov., with a very thinly pilose lobe surface.
