Conidiomata (342–493 (– 513) × 27–53 µm, x ̄ = 423 × 39 µm, n = 15) long, pycnidial, elongate, superficial, stipitate, with a long stalk (118–280 µm, x ̄ = 226 µm, n = 15), black, rigid, a distinct neck (66–120 µm, x ̄ = 101 µm, n = 15) height, and a prominently ovoid-swollen conidiogenous region, the swollen area producing conidia inside.

(22°50'25"N, 113°91'26"E), 24 March 2025, Jipeng Sun, (IFRD 99050, holotype), ex-type living culture IFRDCC 25-0001 .</p><p>Notes.</p><p>In the phylogenetic tree, C. nanshanense (IFRDCC 25-0001) clusters with C. fici-septicae (MFLUCC 19-0072), with BS / PP support values of 96 % / 0.96, and forms a sister clade with the strains C. cinnamomi (SICAU 23-0100), C. siamensis (MFLUCC 10-0061), and C. caucasicus (GUMH 937). There are 99.25 % (535 / 539, 4 gaps) and 99.77 % (879 / 881, 1 gap) similarities in the ITS and LSU regions between C. nanshanense (IFRDCC 25-0001) and C. fici-septicae (MFLUCC 19-0072), respectively. Comparison of tef 1-α and rpb 2 sequences could not be conducted due to the lack of sequence data for C. fici-septicae (MFLUCC 19-0072). Tian et al. (2024) reported the first Chinese record of C. caucasicus (UESTCC 23.0246) and supplemented the molecular data for the ex-type strain C. caucasicus (GUMH 937) with ITS, LSU, tef 1-α, and rpb 2 sequences. Multi-gene alignment between C. nanshanense (IFRDCC 25-0001) and C. caucasicus (UESTCC 23.0246) revealed the following sequence similarities: ITS 99.80 % (511 / 512, 0 gaps), LSU 99.63 % (806 / 809, 0 gaps), tef 1-α 97.90 % (841 / 859, 0 gaps), and rpb 2 99.29 % (981 / 988, 0 gaps). Multi-gene alignment between C. nanshanense (IFRDCC 25-0001) and C. cinnamomi (SICAU 23-0100) showed the sequence similarities as follows: ITS 98.88 % (528 / 534, 2 gaps) and LSU 99.10 % (877 / 885, 1 gap). In terms of morphological characteristics, C. nanshanense (IFRDCC 25-0001) differs from C. fici-septicae (MFLUCC 19-0072) by possessing larger conidiomata (342–493 µm vs. 240–280 μm), a broader base (27–53 μm vs. 7–8 μm), a wider ostiole (7–17 μm vs. 6–9 μm), and larger conidia (5 × 2.7 vs. 4.5 × 1.5 μm) (Tennakoon et al. 2021). Compared to C. caucasicus (GUMH 937), C. nanshanense (IFRDCC 25-0001) has smaller conidiomata (342–493 µm vs. 420–930 μm), narrower ostioles (7–14 μm vs. 14–28 μm), and larger conidia (4.1–6.4 × 2.4–3.3 µm vs. 3.5–5 × 1.5–2 μm) (Khodaparast 2006). When compared with C. cinnamomi (SICAU 23-0100), C. nanshanense (IFRDCC 25-0001) exhibits smaller conidiomata (342–493 µm vs. 500–860 μm) and wider ostioles (7–17 μm vs. 4–8 μm) (Yang et al. 2025). However, a morphological comparison with C. siamensis (MFLUCC 10-0061), which was isolated from an unknown host, could not be conducted due to the lack of a detailed morphological description for this strain (Chomnunti et al. 2011; Abdollahzadeh et al. 2020). Conidiocarpus caucasicus, C. fici-septicae, and C. cinnamomi were isolated from Citrus sp. ( Rutaceae, Sapindales), Ficus septica ( Moraceae, Rosales), and Cinnamomum japonicum ( Lauraceae, Laurales), respectively (Khodaparast 2006; Tennakoon et al. 2021; Yang et al. 2025), whereas C. nanshanense was discovered on Schefflera macrostachya ( Araliaceae, Apiales) in this study. Accordingly, the species represented by this strain is described as a new species, C. nanshanense .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/75EFC5BD8AAC5C069307FBA7794F4006	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Following the nomenclatural priority principle, Bose et al. (2014) adopted Hughes’ (1976) viewpoint and transferred species from Phragmocapnias to Conidiocarpus . However, Abdollahzadeh et al. (2020) proposed that these two are separate, independent genera based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses. According to MycoBank (2026) (https://www.mycobank.org, January 2026), the genus Conidiocarpus includes fifteen validly recognized species, including C. asiaticus, C. betel, C. callitris, C. caucasicus, C. fici-septicae, C. fuliginodes, C. guilanensis, C. heliconiae, C. imperspicuus, C. longicollus, C. penzigii, C. philippinensis, C. plumeriae, C. siamensis, and C. cinnamomi (Abdollahzadeh et al. 2020; Khodaparast et al. 2020; Tennakoon et al. 2022; Pem et al. 2024; Yang et al. 2024; Yang et al. 2025). Conidiocarpus is distinguished from other genera by the following characteristics: the swollen part of the sporogenous structure is located in the middle – upper part of the conidioma, accompanied by a long stipe and an elongated base (Chomnunti et al. 2011).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9DAAF616CB535D99A52E8B5CD7F2D17E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The taxonomic concept of Polychaeton has subsequently been re-evaluated by Hughes (1976) and Chomnunti et al. (2011). Hughes (1976) recognized Polychaeton citri and P. quercinum as representative species of the genus and formally designated P. quercinum as the lectotype. In contrast, Chomnunti et al. (2011) interpreted Capnodium as the sexual morph associated with Polychaeton and, in accordance with the “ one fungus = one name ” principle, adopted Capnodium as the accepted genus. According to MycoBank (2026) (https://www.mycobank.org, January 2026), the genus Polychaeton currently comprises 19 species, although molecular sequence data are available for only Polychaeton citri . Polychaeton is distinguished from other genera by the position of the swollen conidiogenous region in the middle to lower part of the conidiomata and by the absence of a stalk (Chomnunti et al. 2011).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9F113CA0D06F5E4F9DCC22A525B1FFD7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
