However, N. terrestris (HKAS 128950) differs from Pa. laxisporus (HKAS 128943) by its wider conidial diameter (up to 21 μm vs. 14.5–16 μm) and longer conidia (up to 143 μm vs. 80.5–124 μm) (Ma et al. 2024 b). Phylogenetically, our isolates (GZCC 23-0399 and GZCC 25-0660) form a sister clade to N. wuzhishanensis (GZCC 23-0410), with 87 % ML and 1.00 BYPP support (Fig. 1). Comparison of the LSU, ITS, tef 1 - α, and rpb 2 sequence data between Neohelicomyces terrestris (GZCC 23-0399) and N. wuzhishanensis (GZCC 23-0410) revealed nucleotide base differences of 5 / 486 bp (1 %, including three gaps), 26 / 484 bp (5.4 %, including 10 gaps), 25 / 937 bp (2.7 %, including seven gaps), and 33 / 926 bp (3.6 %, with no gaps), respectively. Therefore, based on both multi-gene phylogenetic analyses and morphological differences, we introduce Neohelicomyces terrestris as a novel species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/609D76864B515D7B941966681785D632	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
