Conidiophores 125–185 × 4–5 μm (x ̄ = 149 × 4.6 μm, n = 20), macronematous, mononematous, erect, cylindrical, flexuous, widest at the base, tapering towards a narrow apex, branched or unbranched, septate, brown at base, subhyaline to pale brown towards apex, thick-walled.

Conidia solitary, acropleurogenous, helicoid, developing on tooth-like or bladder-like protrusions, 17.5–21.5 μm diam. and conidial filament 2.5–3 μm wide (x ̄ = 19 × 2.7 μm, n = 20), 120–147 μm long (x ̄ = 130 μm, n = 30), tightly coiled up to 2 1 / 2 times, becoming loosely coiled in water, septate, guttulate, hyaline, smooth-walled.</p><p>Culture characteristics.</p><p>Conidia germinated on PDA and produced germ tubes within 13 h.

However, N. baochengensis (GZAAS 25-0697) differs from N. guizhouensis (HKAS 134924) by its shorter conidiophores (125–185 μm vs. up to 288 μm) and fewer coilings (up to 2 1 / 2 times vs. 2 3 / 4 –3 1 / 2 times) (Ma et al. 2024 b). Molecular phylogenetic analyses showed that N. baochengensis and N. xiangshuiensis form a sister clade, which is clearly distinct from N. guizhouensis (Fig. 1). Therefore, based on morphological comparison and multigene phylogenetic analyses, we describe GZCC 25-0669 and GZCC 25-0670 as a new species, N. baochengensis .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/444631D510AB505F89FC5790673E39A2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Conidiophores 147–259 × 3.8–5.7 μm (x ̄ = 194.5 × 4.9 μm, n = 25), macronematous, mononematous, erect, cylindrical, straight, or slightly flexuous, branched, or unbranched, septate, subhyaline to brown, thick-walled.

Based on the molecular sequence comparison, our isolate (GZCC 25-0671, ex-type) differs from N. baochengensis (GZCC 25-0669, ex-type) by 82 / 896 bp for ITS (9.2 %, gaps 36 bp), 30 / 931 bp (3.2 %, without gaps) for tef 1 - α, and 63 / 1081 bp (5.8 %, without gaps) for rpb 2. Morphologically, N. xiangshuiensis (GZAAS 25-0699) can be distinguished from N. baochengensis (GZAAS 25-0697) by its smaller conidia (15–17 μm vs. 17.5–21.5 μm in diameter and 92.5–126 μm vs. 120–147 μm in length). Therefore, Neohelicomyces xiangshuiensis is proposed here as a new species based on multigene phylogenetic analyses and distinctive morphological characteristics.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2DF147958F5A52B3A4FAD419608B9A62	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
