Comparison of nucleotide sequences between N. saprobicus (GZCC 23-0743) and N. sexualis (GUCC 24-0110) revealed nucleotide base differences of 10 / 701 bp (1 %, including 0 gap) in the LSU, 26 / 360 bp (6 %, including 5 gaps) in the ITS, and 25 / 877 bp (3 %, including 0 gap) in the tef 1 - α. As direct morphological comparison between N. saprobicus (asexual morph) and N. sexualis (sexual morph) is unwarranted (Sun et al. 2025), we introduce N. saprobicus as a new species based on phylogenetic analyses.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2FA5B65E53F759DDAB7188AB89F9218B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Comparison of ITS and LSU sequence between N. uniramulosus (GZCC 25-0750) and N. helicosporus (GZCC 23-0633), revealed nucleotide base differences of 34 / 516 bp (6.6 %, including 10 gaps), 1 / 829 bp (0.1 %, including 0 gap), respectively. Similarly, comparison between N. uniramulosus (GZCC 25-0750) and N. hyalosporus (GZCC 16-0086) showed nucleotide base differences of 26 / 506 bp (5 %, including ten gaps), 1 / 825 bp (0.1 %, including 0 gap), respectively. Morphologically, N. uniramulosus can be distinguished from N. helicosporus by the structure of their conidiophores: the former possesses branched conidiophores, whereas the latter has unbranched ones (Ma et al. 2024 a). Compared to N. hyalosporus, N. uniramulosus has shorter conidiophores (75–205 µm vs. 210–290 µm) (Lu et al. 2018). Consequently, combining phylogenetic analyses and morphological assessments, we introduce N. uniramulosus as a novel species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A0C1D4F8AEA65F0285AE918C01DEE931	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
