October–December 2016—Volume 131, pp. 889–896 http://dx.doi.org/10.5248/131.889 Phaeocollybia pakistanica sp. nov., the first representative of the genus from Pakistan Junaid Khan1*, Hassan Sher1 & Abdul Nasir Khalid2 1Center for Plant Sciences and Biodiversity, University of Swat, Pakistan 2Department of Botany, University of the Punjab, Quaid-e-Azam Campus-54590, Lahore, Pakistan * Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract—A new species of Phaeocollybia, P. pakistanica, is described that represents the first record of the genus from Pakistan. Diagnostic characters include purplish red to brownish red pilei, lilaceous gills, a monopodial radicating cartilaginous stipe, small ellipsoidal verruculose brown spores, and thin-walled subcapitate cheilocystidia. ITS-nrDNA sequence analyses support P. pakistanica as an independent new species. Key words—Agaricomycetes, Hymenogastraceae, coniferous forest, pseudorhiza, Swat district Introduction Phaeocollybia R. Heim is a genus of agaricoid fungi, currently accepted in Hymenogastraceae (Matheny et al. 2006). The genus is easy to recognize in the field due to the presence of the cartilaginous stipe and deeply rooting pseudorhiza, moist to viscid umbonate pilei, and brown spores. Microscopically the genus is characterized by gelatinous tissues, roughened brown spores with an apical callus, the presence of cheilocystidia, and tibiiform diverticula (Norvell & Exeter 2008). The genus is widely distributed in forested temperate regions worldwide and currently comprises about 95 described species (http://www.indexfungorum.org/). Species later placed in Phaeocollybia were first included by Fries (1838) in the heterogeneous assemblage of brown-spored agarics within the [unranked; section] Gymnoti under [unranked; subgenus] Naucoria.

  • Governance and Militancy in Pakistan's Swat Valley
    October 2011 Governance and Militancy in Pakistan’s Swat Valley1 Justine Fleischner Introduction and Background In 2009, the Swat Valley became a focal point of Pakistan’s war against militancy and terrorism. The government signed a peace agreement effectively ceding control of the district to the local Taliban faction, allowing it to enforce its interpretation of Islamic law. Soon, a video of a teenage girl being flogged by a Taliban commander emerged and sparked outrage within Pakistan and around the world as a symbol of a situation that had gone out of control. By April 2009, Taliban fighters had swept into neighboring Buner district and were portrayed by the international media, with some exaggeration, as being on the verge of a siege of Islamabad. The following month, Pakistan’s military forces launched a campaign to regain control of Swat. The campaign succeeded, but the fighting displaced hundreds of thousands of people from Swat into nearby areas, creating a serious humanitarian crisis in the country’s northwestern region. A little more than a year later, as many of those internally displaced persons were returning to a newly stabilized Swat, the worst flooding in Pakistan’s history created a new crisis that threatened to undo what little progress on reconstruction the military or civilian governments had achieved.2 In early 2011, two years into the longest sustained military operation in Pakistan’s history, the army began a phased withdrawal from the surrounding districts of Shangla and Buner.3 While welcomed news, the details of the plan have not been made public, and the ability of local security forces to maintain order is untested.
