Hyde, sp. nov.</p> <p>Index Fungorum number: IF559719; Facesoffungi number: FoF 11668; Fig. 5</p> <p>Etymology:—In reference to obovate-shaped ascospores.</p> <p>Holotype:— MFLU 22-0094</p> <p>Saprobic on dead twig of Pavonia odorata. Sexual morph: Ascomata 195–250 μm high × 170–240 μm diam. (x̄ = 215 × 200 μm, n = 10), immersed to erumpent through host tissue, globose, solitary and scattered. Peridium 34–90 μm wide, 5–7 layers, brown to dark brown cells of textura angularis. Hamathecium comprising 2–4 μm wide, oblong to cylindrical, septate pseudoparaphyses. Asci 60–95 × 12–25 μm (x̄ = 75 × 18 μm, n = 10), 8-spored, bitunicate, fissitunicate, cylindric-clavate to clavate, with a short pedicel, slightly curved, apically rounded with a well-developed ocular chamber. Ascospores 12–17 × 6–10 μm (x̄ = 14 × 8 μm, n = 30), 1–2-seriate, overlapping in the ascus, hyaline to yellowish brown, aseptate when immature, becoming brown to dark brown, 1-sepate at maturity, obovoid, with granular appearance, upper cell is wider than lower cell, straight. Asexual morph: Undetermined.</p> <p>Culture characteristics:— Conidia germinating on PDA within 24 h. Germ tubes produced from one side of the conidium. Colonies on PDA reaching 2.0– 2.5 cm diam. after 5 days at 25 °C, circular, medium dense, flat or effuse, slightly raised, fluffy to fairly fluffy, aerial, grey colour in top view, black in bottom view.</p> <p>Material examined:— THAILAND. Trat province (Southern Thailand): on dead twig of Pavonia odorata (Malvaceae), 3 September 2020, Rashika Sajith (MFLU 22-0094, holotype); ex-type living culture MFLUCC 22- 0058.</p> <p>Notes:— Dothiorella obovata fits within the generic concept of Dothiorella by having pigmented, 1-septate ascospores. Morphologically, our new strain (MFLU 22-0094/ MFLUCC 22-0058) is distinguished from other Dothiorella species by having obovate ascospores. Based on multi-gene phylogeny (ITS, LSU, tef 1-α and β-tub), D. obovata constitutes a distant lineage sister to D. brevicollis, D. diospyricola, D. lampangensis, and D. longicollis with relatively high 97% ML bootstrap and 1.00 PP support (Fig. 1). Only asexual morphs have been recorded for D. brevicollis, D. diospyricola, D. lampangensis, and D. longicollis, while D. obovata is recorded from the sexual morph. Therefore, we could not compare the morphology of D. obovata with these four species. Base pair differences between D. brevicollis, D. diospyricola, D. lampangensis, D. longicollis and D. obovata (MFLUCC 22-0058) are shown in Table 2. According to distinct morphology and phylogenetic evidence, we established D. obovata as a new species in Dothiorella.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/6258505AFFA18336F4E3FDE9FEF86B15	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(x̄ = 320 × 262 μm, n = 10), pycnidial, solitary or gregarious, globose, formed in uniloculate stromata, immersed, becoming erumpent at maturity. Conidiomata wall 24–68 μm diam., of two layers, outer layer composed of thick-walled, dark brown to brown cells of textura angularis, inner layer composed of thin-walled, pale brown to hyaline cells of textura angularis.

Phayao: on dead dry pod of Albizia lebbeck (Fabaceae), 20 July 2020, Achala Rathnayaka (MFLU 22-0093, holotype); ex-type living culture MFLUCC 22-0057.</p> <p>Notes:—In the multi-gene phylogeny (ITS, LSU, tef 1-α and β-tub), our novel strain (MFLU 22-0093/ MFLUCC 22-0057) formed a separate lineage sister to D. thailandica with 81% ML bootstrap and 0.76 PP support (Fig. 1). Although the conidia of D. albiziae (16 × 7 μm) and D. thailandica (18.5 × 7 μm) are of similar size, there are several differences in conidial morphology between these two species (Phillips et al. 2013). Conidia in D. thailandica are oblong to ellipsoidal, slightly constricted at the septa, with slight undulating striations on the surface, occasionally curved and the lower cell is smaller than the upper cell (Phillips et al. 2013). In D. albiziae, the conidia are oblong to ovoid, not constricted at the septa, and the upper and lower cells are of similar size. Base pair differences (without gaps) between D. albiziae and D. thailandica are: ITS = 1.8% (8/455), LSU = 0.3% (2/794), tef 1-α = 3.7% (9/242) and β-tub = 2.1% (7/341).

Collina di Forlì (province of Forlì-Cesena [FC]): on dead branch of Humulus lupulus (Cannabaceae), 8 January 2019, Erio Camporesi, (MFLU 19-0437, new host record), living culture MFLUCC 22- 0060.</p> <p>Known hosts and distribution:— Dothiorella sarmentorum has a cosmopolitan distribution and has been isolated from 34 different host species, including Malus, Menispermum, Prunus, Pyrus, Ulmus, etc. (Phillips et al. 2013). However, Dissanayake et al. (2016) mentioned that D. sarmentorum was described from only 17 woody hosts based on molecular studies.</p> <p>Notes:—The morphology of the specimen from this study is similar to the holotype of Dothiorella sarmentorum collected from Menispermum canadense in Sweden (Phillips et al. 2013). Both specimens have many similar characteristics with solitary and globose conidiomata, a conidiomata wall composed of brown to hyaline cells of textura angularis, conidiogenous cells that are holoblastic and hyaline, and conidia that are initially hyaline and aseptate, becoming brown and 1-septate often while attached to conidiogenous cells, with a similar L/W ratio (2.2) (Phillips et al. 2013). Based on phylogenetic analyses, our strain (MFLUCC 22-0060) clustered with the ex-type and other isolates of D. sarmentorum (CBS 115041, CBS 128309, CBS 141587, CBS 392.80, CBS 725.79, IMI 63581 b, IRAN 1579C, IRAN 1583C, MFLUCC 13-0498, MFLUCC 17-0242 and MFLUCC 17-0951) with relatively high 99% ML bootstrap and 1.00 PP support (Fig. 1). Previously, D. sarmentorum has been recorded from Italy on different hosts (Dissanayake et al. 2016). Considering the morpho-molecular data analysis, we conclude that our new collection is a new host record of D. sarmentorum in Italy.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/6258505AFFA38333F4E3FB67FD9C6C49	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(Moraceae), 3 February 2019, Erio Camporesi, (MFLU 19-0621, new host record), living culture MFLUCC 22- 0059.</p> <p>Known hosts and distribution:— Dothiorella viticola has a cosmopolitan distribution in different host species, including Citrus sp. in the USA (Adesemoye &amp; Eskalen 2011, Inderbitzin et al. 2010), Populus cathayana in China (Zhang et al. 2009), Poniciana gilliesii in France (Phillips et al. 2008), Prunus persica and P. salicina in South Africa (Damm et al. 2007), and Vitis vinifera in Australia, South Africa and Spain (Luque et al. 2005, de Wet et al. 2009, Qiu et al. 2011).</p> <p>Notes:—Our collection is similar to the holotype of Dothiorella viticola (MFLU 18–1586) from pruned canes of Vitis vinifera in Spain (CBS 117009) (Luque et al. 2005). Both isolates have similar morphology, with separate or aggregated, erumpent, globose, uniloculate conidiomata, and a single, central, circular, and papillate ostiole. They have holoblastic and hyaline conidiogenous cells. Their conidia are oblong, initially hyaline and aseptate that become pigmented brown, 1-septate and slightly constricted at the septum. However, the width of conidiomata (x̄ = 110 μm) and length/width (L/W) ratio of conidia of our new collection (L/W = 1.9) are comparatively smaller than the ex-type strain (x̄ = 295 μm and L/W = 2.2 ± 0.02) (Luque et al. 2005). Based on phylogenetic analyses, our collection clustered with other strains of D. viticola (IRNBS28, WA10NO01 and WA10NO02) with relatively high 93% ML bootstrap and 0.93 PP support (Fig. 1).

Sphaeropsis linhaiensis was introduced from its asexual morph (Xiao et al. 2021), while our strain is reported from sexual morphs. Therefore, we could not compare morphology between the holotype and our strain. When comparing the ITS region (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2), there is no base pair (0%) difference between S. guizhouensis (GZCC 19-0273) and S. linhaiensis (CGMCC 3.20382 and HKAS 10-2383). Therefore, we synonymize S. guizhouensis under S. linhaiensis based on our phylogenetic analyses. Both GZCC 19-0273 and HKAS 10-2383 isolates were collected from different hosts but in the same province.

Morphologically, our collections show similar characters to the holotype, such as erumpent, globose to subglobose, solitary or gregarious ascostromata. Asci are cylindro-clavate, short pedicellate, and apically rounded with a well-developed ocular chamber. Ascospores are hyaline, becoming yellowish-brown to dark brown at maturity, ellipsoid to ovoid, widest at the center, aseptate, and smooth-walled with small apiculus at either end (Liu et al. 2012). However, the size of asci and ascospores (x̄ = 110 × 25 μm and x̄ = 28 × 14 μm) are slightly different to the holotype (x̄ = 106 × 29 μm and x̄ = 30 × 12 μm) (Liu et al. 2012). Based on morpho-molecular evidence, we conclude that our collections represent new host records on Tamarindus indica and Ficus ampelas in Thailand and Taiwan, respectively. Also, NCYUCC 19-0423 represents a new geographical record of S. eucalypticola from Taiwan. Mapook et al. (2021) introduced MFLUCC 17-1499 isolate as Sphaeropsis chromolaenicola, a new species of Sphaeropsis. When comparing the ITS region (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2), no base pair (0%) differences were found between S. chromolaenicola (MFLUCC 17-1499) and other strains of S. eucalypticola (MFLUCC 11-0579, MFLUCC 11-0654, MFLUCC 13-0701, MFLU 22-0095 and NCYUCC 19-0423). According to our phylogenetic analyses, the S. chromolaenicola isolate clusters with other S. eucalypticola isolates (Fig. 2). Therefore, we synonymize S. chromolaenicola under S. eucalypticola.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/6258505AFFB9832EF4E3FD79FC72650D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The holotype of N. arengae is recorded from the asexual morph (Xiong et al. 2022), while our strain is recorded from the sexual morph. Therefore, we could not compare the morphology between the holotype and our strain. According to the phylogenetic analyses in this study, N. arengae (ZHKUCC 21-0074 and ZHKUCC 21-0075), N. pinangae (NCYUCC 19-0077 and MFLUCC 19-0144) introduced by Phukhamsakda et al. (2022) and our collection (NCYUCC 19-0419) clustered in the same clade, and no base pair differences were found in the ITS regions (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) among these strains. Therefore, we synonymize N. pinangae under N. arengae. Both ZHKUCC 21-0074 and NCYUCC 19-0077 were recorded from different hosts in different countries. Based on morpho-molecular evidence in this study, we conclude that our new collection is the first record of Arenga tremula in Taiwan.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/6258505AFFBC832BF4E3FD83FCE46B57	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
