A54087DAFFFFFF82FF0461C3FC3A05AB.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Cladosporium aulonemiae is phylogenetically close but distinct from C. rugulovarians. Although morphologically different, they have in common the presence of long conidiophores dichotomously branched towards the apex. Both belong to the C. cladosporioides species complex and form a basal sister clade in this complex. Perhaps this is the reason why C. aulonemiae possesses some features differentiated from their group and similar to species of C. herbarum species complex. Loci formation in close succession on small to large lateral shoulders results in a marked zig-zag-like growth. Similar conidiogenous cells are reported in C. arthropodii and C. sinuosum, belonging to the C. herbarum species complex. However, both species produce solitary and ornate conidia, characteristic of the C. herbarum species complex. In the sympodial loci of C. aulonemiae, besides the solitary and slightly rough conidia, short conidia chains or new conidiogenous cells with equal sympodial proliferation are also formed. Another unusual feature is the polysaccharide-like material produced in C. antarcticum and C. variabile (both belonging to the C. herbarum species complex). The material appears to adhere to the hypha in these species, enveloping these structures. However, in C. aulonemiae, it has more loosely adhered. It appears as a brownish smudge around the fungal structures and is also dispersed in the medium where the lamina was mounted.	en	Costa, Pricila P., Rosado, André W. C., Pereira, Olinto L.

A54087DAFFFDFF9CFF04612DFB89047A.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Cladosporium bambusicola is a sister group of C. brigadeirensis, but the two species present morphological differences. Cladosporium bambusicola forms two types of intercalary conidia markedly different from each other. One smaller conidia type, fusiform, ellipsoid, ellipsoid-ovoid, ellipsoid-cylindrical, aseptate, subhyaline to pale brown, smooth. Another conidia type is predominantly larger, rarely catenate, subglobose, ellipsoid, limoniform, oblong, oblong-ellipsoid, brown to dark brown, wall rough, thickened. However, it is not possible to differentiate the conidiophore that originated these conidia as in Cladosporium herbaroides (C. herbarum species complex), which also have two morphological types of conidia. However, they are formed by two different conidiophores, macronematous and micronematous (Bensch et al. 2012). Cladosporium brigadeirensis does not have ramoconidia and its secondary ramoconidia is on average half the size of C. bambusicola. The conidial chains tend to be larger in the last species, while C. brigadeirensis form a cluster of conidia at the base of conidiogenous cells.	en	Costa, Pricila P., Rosado, André W.

A54087DAFFE7FF98FF0467AAFE5D0673.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Cladosporium chusqueae is phylogenetically close to C. angulosum and C. xantochromaticum and has common features with both species. Similar to C. angulosum, C. chusqueae branches dichotomically near the base of the conidiophore, forming an angle of 90 º. This branching occurs immediately before the septum, similar to the branches of the C. xantochromaticum. The unusual diffusible yellowish pigmentation in the culture medium was also observed in C. chusqueae as well as in C. xantochromaticum. However, this pigment was observed only in OA, whereas C. xantochromaticum was found only in the PDA medium. Unlike the two related species, ramoconidium was not observed for C. chusqueae.	en	Costa, Pricila P., Rosado, André W. C., Pereira, Olinto L.

A54087DAFFE7FF9BFF046156FDD4048A.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Cladosporium pseudotenuissimum is phylogenetically close but distinct from C. tenuissimum. Moreover, some conspicuous morphological features distinguish the two species. Cladosporium tenuissimum have conidiophores solitary or in groups of 2 – 3, often are subnodulose or nodulose with apical and sometimes a few additional swellings on a lower level and have intercalary conidiogenous cells. While in C. pseudotenuissimum was only found solitary conidiophores, with swelling and conidiogenous cells restricted to the apex. Also, C. pseudotenuissimum has secondary ramoconidia, and its conidia are shorter (4.27 – 6.95 μm) than those described for C. tenuissimum [4 – 12 (17)] μm. Cladosporium pseudotenuissimum also has bubble-like swelling on hyphae, which has not been described in any other species of Cladosporium until the moment.	en	Costa, Pricila P., Rosado, André W.
