Although this clade has low support, this was consistently observed in ML, MP and BI trees. Comparison of base pair differences between these two closely related species revealed a difference of 23 out of 459 bases (5.0 %) in ITS and 7 out of 349 bases (2.0 %) in tub 2 sequences. Morphologically, they differ significantly:  P. hibisci has larger, ellipsoid, guttulate ascospores (8–12 × 3–4 µm), while  P. mangrovei has smaller, cylindrical to clavate ascospores (3–5 × 1–1.5 µm) without guttules. The asci of  P. hibisci (57–68 × 6–8 µm) are also much larger than those of  P. mangrovei (14–20 × 3–4 µm) (Phookamsak et al. 2019). Compared to another related species,  P. polysporae,  P. hibisci differs by producing median-septate, ellipsoid ascospores, whereas  P. polysporae has smaller, unicellular, allantoid spores. Additionally,  P. polysporae has larger asci (110–155 × 5–7.5 µm) than  P. hibisci (Dayarathne et al. 2020). Morphological and sequence data support the introduction of  Peroneutypa hibisci as a novel species based on the guidelines of Jeewon and Hyde (2016) and Maharachchikumbura et al.

Base pair comparison of ITS and tef 1 - α sequences revealed a 1.8 % and 15 % difference, respectively. The most significant difference between the two closely related species is their conidial morphology.  Pseudochaetosphaeronema bruguierae has larger conidia (6.5 × 2.2 µm) which are fusiform, septate, with multiple guttules. In contrast,  Pseudochaetosphaeronema siamensis has smaller conidia (3 × 2 µm) which are subglobose to oval without septation (Jayasiri et al. 2019). Furthermore, the conidiogenous cells of  Pseudochaetosphaeronema siamensis are cylindrical with collarettes at the tips, while some appear flask-shaped with no collarettes for  Pseudochaetosphaeronema bruguierae (Jayasiri et al. 2019). The conidiomata of  Pseudochaetosphaeronema bruguierae is also larger than that of  Pseudochaetosphaeronema siamensis .  Pseudochaetosphaeronema bruguierae is similar to  Pseudochaetosphaeronema magnoliae but they are phylogenetically distinct, with  P. magnoliae forming a sister clade to  P. bruguierae and  P. siamensis (De Silva et al. 2022) . Furthermore,  P. bruguierae and  P. magnoliae have a higher pairwise difference in the ITS sequences (9.3 %). Although the shape of conidiogenous cells and the conidia of  P. bruguierae and  P. magnoliae are similar, they differ in terms of size, with  P. bruguierae having larger conidiogenous cells and smaller conidia. Additionally, the conidia of  P. bruguierae are septate with pronounced multiple guttules, which are not observed in the conidia of  P. magnoliae . These support the introduction of  Pseudochaetosphaeronema bruguierae as a novel species in  Pseudochaetosphaeronema following the guidelines of Jeewon and Hyde (2016) and Maharachchikumbura et al. (2021).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C6A409AC1BC85166B04F8C9ED65DAEF7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

The sister taxon is  Septomelanconiella, however, this monotypic genus is distinguished by its septate, laminate conidia, which is not observed in  Pseudomelanconiella (Phookamsak et al. 2019) . Both  Pseudomelanconiella and  Septomelanconiella are coelomycetous and have no reported sexual morphs (Phookamsak et al. 2019). Pairwise differences between the  Septomelanconiella and  Pseudomelanconiella in ITS (13.2 %), LSU (1.6 %), rpb 2 (16.1 %) are all higher than the lowest base difference observed between genera in  Melanconiellaceae .  Septomelanconiella was isolated as a saprobe from  Syzygium samarangense in a terrestrial environment while  Pseudomelanconiella was isolated from mangroves in a brackish water environment (Phookamsak et al. 2019).

While the morphology of  Pseudomelanconiella mangrovei is similar to  Melanconiella species, particularly the appearance of conidiomata, conidiogenous cells and the shape of the conidia, its phylogenetic position is distinct from other  Melanconiella species (Voglmayr et al. 2012).

Melanconiella loropetali,  Melanconiella camelliae and  Melanconiella syzygii, formed a basal clade distinct from other  Melanconiella species in Mu et al. (2023). However, only  Melanconiella species were used in the analysis, leading to their classification as  Melanconiella . We included other genera in  Melanconiellaceae in our analysis and  M. camelliae,  M. loropetali and  M. syzygii are phylogenetically distant from  Melanconiella . The phylogenetic tree of the combined ITS, LSU, rpb 2 and tef 1 - α sequences showed that  Melanconiella loropetali formed a sister clade to  Sinodiscula species. Thus, we reclassified  M. loropetali as  Sinodiscula loropetali .  Melanconiella loropetali is similar to  Sinodiscula species. It fits the generic description of  Sinodiscula, and like other  Sinodiscula species,  Melanconiella loropetali was isolated as a plant pathogen (Mu et al. 2023; Guo et al. 2024). Given the similarities in morphology and ecology of  M. loropetali and  Sinodiscula species, and the well-supported phylogenetic position of  Melanconiella loropetali, we reclassify it as  Sinodiscula loropetali .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CD751322610852FCA758F8C6BF1BD7AC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
