A comparison of nucleotide base pairs between them reveals differences of 30 / 459 (6.5 %, including 15 gaps) and 82 / 730 bp (11 %, no gap) in the ITS and rpb 2 sequences, respectively. This indicates that they are distinct species. Morphologically,  A. angiopteridis aligns well with the generic concept and resembles  A. oligospora in having hyaline conidiophores with the successive production of additional denticle nodes (Yu et al. 2014). However,  A. angiopteridis can be easily distinguished from  A. oligospora by its longer conidiophores (345–502 µm vs. 110–440 μm) and clavate to elongate pyriform conidia, with 0–1 septate near the middle, whereas  A. oligospora has pyriform or obovoid conidia with 1 - septate near the base. Therefore, we introduce  A. angiopteridis as a novel species based on its distinct morphological and phylogenetic evidence following the guidelines of Maharachchikumbura et al. (2021).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3178D694C6785DDA948EB4049C0CF457	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that  C. septata formed a distinct clade within  Corynespora and shared a sister relationship with  C. pseudocassiicola Crous &amp; M. J. Wingf. (Fig. 3). There are 10 bp (10 / 841 bp with 0 gap, 1 %) and 38 bp (38 / 527 bp with 13 gaps, 7 %) differences between the  C. pseudocassiicola and  C. septata in the LSU and ITS gene regions, respectively. Morphologically,  C. septata has longer conidiophores (490–671 µm vs. 200–400 µm), and smaller conidia (42–74 × 4.5–7.5 µm vs. 95–160 × 9–10 µm) compared to  C. pseudocassiicola (Crous et al. 2018) . Similarly,  C. septata is most similar to  C. lignicola Z. L. Luo, H. Y. Su &amp; K. D. Hyde in the shapes of conidiophores, conidiogenous cells, and conidia (Capital and Lao 2020). However,  C. septata differs from  C. lignicola in having narrower conidiophores (3.5–6.5 µm vs. 9–13 µm) and notably smaller conidia (42–74 × 4.5–7.5 µm vs. 110–156 × 7–9 µm).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/D48F68710287583384C4B3A50209A290	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
