After conducting a nucleotide pairwise comparison as recommended by Jeewon and Hyde (2016), the present species can be readily distinguished from the closet species A. radicicola, A. embellisia and A. tellustris constructed on any of the LSU, ITS, GAPDH, RPB 2 and TEF 1 genes, which has 3 bp difference (1 %, no gap) in the ITS region, 6 bp (2 %, no gap) in GAPDH, 16 pb (2 %, no gap) in RPB 2 and 15 bp (11 %, 14 gap) in TEF 1 when compared with A. radicicola, 1 bp (1 %, no gap) in LSU, 6 bp (2 %, no gap) in ITS, 24 bp (4 %, 1 gap) in GAPDH, 17 bp (2 %, 1 gap) in RPB 2, and 17 bp (11 %, 13 gaps) in TEF 1 when compared with A. embellisia, and 1 bp (1 %, no gap) in LSU, 3 bp (1 %, no gap) in ITS, 12 bp (2 %, 1 gap) in GAPDH, 17 bp (2 %, no gap) in RPB 2 and 13 bp (9 %, 14 gaps) in TEF 1 with sister species A. tellustris .</p><p>Morphologically, A. ouedrighensis (Fig. 4) is distinct from the closest species A. embellisia in conidial body size.

Minimum temperature for growth 5 ° C, optimum 25 ° C, maximum 37 ° C. On Potato dextrose agar (PDA; Fig. 3), conidiophores arising directly from lateral of aerial hyphae, straight or curved, geniculate, smooth-walled, with up to 5 – septate, unbranched or with up to two branches, pale brown; Conidia solitary, subcylindrical to obclavate, (18.1 –) 21.4 – 29.1 (– 38.8) × (7.4 –) 9.7 – 12.8 (– 14.8) μm, (av. 25.3 ± 3.9 × 11.2 ± 1.6), non-beaked with a narrow base, light brown, with some darkened middle transverse septa, 3–6 transverse septa, and 0–1 longitudinal or oblique septa per transverse segment; these primary conidia produce secondary conidiophores that consist in a subapical extension from the conidial body. Sexual morph not observed.</p><p>Notes.</p><p>Phylogenetically, this species grouped within Ulocladioides section but was different from the closest species ( A. malicola, A. preussii and A. cantlous) in a distinct lineage with 100 % ML / 94 % MP statistical support. Alternaria phoenicis sp. nov. is different from its sister species A. malicola, A. preussii and A. cantlous, based on sequences derived from five loci (Fig. 2). After conducting a nucleotide pairwise comparison as recommended by Jeewon and Hyde (2016), the present species can be distinguished from the closet species A. malicola, A. preussii and A. cantlous . Based on GAPDH, RPB 2 and TEF 1 genes, A. phoenicis sp. nov. has 7 bp differences (2 %, no gap) in GAPDH, 1 bp (1 %, no gap) in RPB 2 and 29 bp (7 %, 6 gaps) in TEF 1 when compared to A. malicola . Alternaria preussii presents 5 bp differences (2 %, no gap) in GAPDH and 11 bp (2 %, no gap) in RPB 2. However, A. cantlous shows 1 bp difference (1 %, no gap) in RPB 2 and 29 bp (11 %, 6 gaps) in TEF 1. Morphologically, A. phoenicis (Fig. 3) can be distinguished by having narrower conidia (7.4–14.8 µm) compared to the three closely related species: A. cantlous (7.4–14.8 µm), A. preussii (13.0–13.7 µm), and A. malicola (8–16 µm). In terms of length, its conidia are shorter than those of A. cantlous (24–36 µm) but longer when compared to A. preussii (18.3–20.4 µm). However, the conidial length of A. malicola (16–35 µm) is comparable to that of A. phoenicis (18.1–38.8 µm). Regarding the conidial septation, A. phoenicis is characterized by multiple transverse septa (up to 6). In contrast, its closely related species exhibit fewer transverse septa, up to four in A. canlous and up to three in both A. preussii and A. malicola . Additionally, A. phoenicis has the fewest longitudinal septa (0–1), compared to A. preussii (1–2), A. malicola (1–5), and A. canlous (0–2) (Runa et al. 2009; Wang et al. 2010; Dang et al. 2018).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/81F77603841158749CC8D9BF375059FD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
