The morphology of L. hepiali conformed to the characteristics of the Leptobacillium genus. Phylogenetic analysis (Fig. 2) indicated that the new species belongs to the genus Leptobacillium and was clustered with L. latisporum . The phialides of the new species were solitary, whereas those of L. latisporum were branched with two or three (Table 4). Therefore, morphological and phylogenetic analyses supported L. hepiali as a new species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/602282AF38415FF89582C51DCD8E3415	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Stromata arising from Noctuidae larva buried in soil, multi-branched or partially forked, lignified, light brown, 2.12–3.31 cm long. Colonies on PDA growing very slowly, reaching 22–24 mm in diam after 30 days at 20 ° C, flat, spreading radially, grayish-white center, translucent margin; Texture hard and thin, adhering closely to the surface of the culture medium. The reverse exhibited yellowish-brown centers grading into pale yellow, translucent margins. Synnemata growing on PDA medium, grayish white. Two types of conidiogenous cells (A and B) occur singly on the hyphae. Type A: conidiogenous cells unbranched, 20.13–28.97 µm long, with a swollen base, 3.10–3.62 µm wide, tapering sharply into a thin neck, 0.65–1.01 µm wide. Type B: conidiogenous cells branched, multiple (two or more) branches, with a swollen base, the neck gradually tapering to form conidia. Through repeated cycles of swelling and branching, the apical regions narrow again and ultimately produce conidia. Conidia borne directly on the tip of phialides, spherical (5.58–6.67 µm) or sub-spherical (6.47–7.93 × 5.29–6.55 µm), with a mucilaginous sheath.</p><p>Host.</p><p>The larvae of Noctuidae ( Lepidoptera).</p><p>Distribution and Habitat.</p><p>China, Liaoning Province, Tieling City.

Phialides were characterized by a swollen basal part that abruptly narrowed into a slender neck, each producing either single or multiple (two or more) branches. Conidia were spherical or sub-spherical and surrounded by a mucilaginous sheath. Morphologically, O. ramosa conformed to the characteristics of the genus Ophiocordyceps . Phylogenetic analysis of the genus Ophiocordyceps (Fig. 1) indicated that O. ramosa formed a separate clade and clustered with Hirsutella satumaensis and H. nodulosa . However, O. ramosa produced two distinct types of conidiogenous cells, which differed significantly in morphology and size from those of H. satumaensis and H. nodulosa (Table 3). Furthermore, O. ramosa parasitizes larvae of Noctuidae, whereas H. satumaensis and H. nodulosa parasitizes larvae of Bombyx mori and mites, respectively, demonstrating distinct differences in host range. Therefore, the morphological features and phylogenetic analyses supported that O. ramosa was a new species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/58719685A061516292F0FA800E1637CC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
