Phylogenetically, L. doupengense is placed in a subclade with L. coffeanum, L. symbioticum, L. filiforme, and L. xianyushanense . Pairwise sequence comparisons in the ITS region revealed that L. doupengense differs from L. coffeanum (COAD 2057) by 28 bp with 4 gaps (93.9 % similarity), from L. filiforme (URM 7918) by 25 bp with 3 gaps (94.6 %), from L. symbioticum (NBRC 113865) by 22 bp with 1 gap (95.2 %), and from L. xianyushanense (RCEF 6793) by 15 bp with 1 gap (96.7 %). Species delimitation in this study was based on an integrative taxonomic approach, including an independent and well-supported placement in the multi-locus phylogeny, ITS sequence divergence from closely related species, and diagnosable morphological differences.</p><p>Morphologically, L. doupengense is similar to most species of Leptobacillium in producing long, slender chains of conidia. However, it can be distinguished from its closely related species by several morphological characteristics. Compared with L. coffeanum, L. doupengense produces conidia arranged in chains, whereas the conidia of L. coffeanum are produced in slimy heads (Gomes et al. 2018). Although L. doupengense is morphologically similar to L. xianyushanense, it differs from the latter in colony growth and colony surface morphology. On PDA at 25 ° C after 14 days, colonies of L. doupengense reached 35–40 mm in diameter and were slightly raised, smooth, and circular, without obvious divergent cracks. In contrast, colonies of L. xianyushanense grow more slowly, reaching 20–36 mm in diameter after 14 days at 25 ° C, and have a white, irregular floccose surface characterized by divergent cracks. Additionally, L. doupengense tends to produce shorter conidia (3–4 × 0.5–1 μm) than L. symbioticum (4.0–6.9 × 0.7–1.6 μm), L. filiforme (7.2–12.5 × 1.0 μm), and L. xianyushanense (3.8–5.6 × 0.5–1.2 μm) (Okane et al. 2020; Chen et al. 2021; Chang et al. 2024). Therefore, the combination of colony morphology, conidial size, ITS sequence divergence, and independent phylogenetic placement supports the recognition of L. doupengense as a distinct species within Leptobacillium .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/6506C2DEA0395E3189FBE81B14D37B57	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It is phylogenetically placed in a subclade together with M. lutea, M. microbactrospora, M. parasitica, and M. rubescens, indicating a close relationship with this group of species. Morphologically, the genus Metapochonia is characterized by producing conidia on slender phialides, which may be verticillate or solitary, and most species are also known to produce chlamydospores. Metapochonia doupengshanensis is morphologically most similar to M. rubescens, but can be distinguished by its globose to ellipsoidal conidia (2–2.5 × 1.5–2 μm), whereas M. rubescens produces globose to subglobose conidia (2.5–3.5 × 2.0–3.0 μm) (Zare et al. 2001). Additionally, pairwise sequence analysis of the tef - 1 α gene revealed that M. doupengshanensis differs from its close relatives by 11–25 bp with 1–3 gaps. Specifically, it showed 98.8 % similarity with M. rubescens (11 bp, 3 gaps), 98.6 % with M. lutea (13 bp, 1 gap), 97.8 % with M. microbactrospora (20 bp, 3 gaps), and 97.4 % with M. parasitica (25 bp, 1 gap). Species delimitation in this study was based on an integrative taxonomic approach, including an independent and well-supported placement in the multi-locus phylogeny, tef - 1 α sequence divergence from closely related species, and diagnosable morphological differences. Therefore, both morphological and molecular data support the recognition of M. doupengshanensis as a new species within Metapochonia .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8804837B569359ABAFDE79E3A39B10FB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
