description Southwestern China belongs among the global biodiversity hotspots and the Daba Mountains are recognized as one of the priority conservation areas. During the exploration of fungal biodiversity from soil samples collected from Mount Daba, two species of <i>Talaromyces</i> were discovered as new to science based on phylogenetic analyses and morphological comparisons. <i>Talaromyces chongqingensis</i> sp. nov. is a sister taxon of <i>T. minioluteus</i> and <i>T. minnesotensis</i> in the section <i>Trachyspermi</i>; and <i>T. wushanicus</i> sp. nov., affiliated to the section <i>Talaromyces</i>, is closely related to <i>T. cnidii</i> and <i>T. siamensis</i>. The new species differ from their sisters in DNA sequences, growth rates, and morphological characteristics. Descriptions and illustrations of them are provided in detail.
