In the phylogenetic analyses (Figs 3, 9, Suppl. materials 1, 3, 7), these species are indistinguishable, have overlapping morphological characteristics (Table 3), and show few differences among their DNA sequences: the type sequence of C. ribis (GUCC 21244.1) differs from the type sequence of C. bambusicola (COAD 2256) by 2 bp in the ACT sequence and by 7 bp in the TEF 1 - α sequence; the ITS sequence has no base pair difference. The type sequence of C. speluncae (COAD 3116) differs from the type sequence of C. bambusicola (COAD 2256) by 3 bp in the ACT sequence and by 2 bp in the TEF 1 - α sequence; the ITS sequence has no base pair difference. In addition, PHI analysis revealed significant recombination, indicating intraspecific variation (Fig. 5 A). Therefore, these analyses propose that C. ribis and C. speluncae are synonyms of C. bambusicola . In this study, C. bambusicola was the most frequently isolated species from caves of the Brazilian savannah, expanding its geographical distribution and ecology. These isolates were found at sampling points both inside and outside the caves.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8AB8205F033A550C82D6190350ED7E0D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Cladosporium carsi differs morphologically from C. proteacearum, a species isolated from flower blight of Macadamia integrifolia in Australia (Prasannath et al. 2021), by having slightly smaller conidiophores (150–500 × 2.5–4 µm in C. proteacearum) that are erect, multiseptate, and have a subcylindrical and flexuous appearance. The primary ramoconidia are larger (12–48 × 3–5 µm) than those of C. carsi (8–27 × 2–4 µm). The intercalary conidia of C. proteacearum are smaller (4–5 × 2–3 µm) than those of C. carsi (4–12 × 2–4 µm) and have a different form.

RPB 2 and TUB sequences were not obtained from C. proteacearum (BRIP 72301 a) to compare with C. carsi (URM 9208), but the difference in bp of C. carsi is similar to that reported for the other analysed species.

( C. cladosporioides SC) is morphologically (Table 3) and phylogenetically (Figs 3, 9) related to C. oxysporum, a species described from dead leaves of Passiflora sp. in Cuba (Bensch et al. 2012). Microscopically, C. lacerdae has solitary conidiophores, ranging from semimicronematous to macronematous, erect, cylindrical-oblong, non-nodular, and regularly septate (90–250 × 2.5–4 μm). In contrast, C. oxysporum displays macronematous and occasionally micronematous conidiophores, erect and slightly flexuous, with distinct, spaced nodules, and measuring 40–720 × 2–4 μm. The conidiogenous cells of C. lacerdae are integrated, cylindrical-oblong, terminal, and intercalary, with 1–3 darkened apical conidiogenous loci (6–27 × 2–4 μm), whereas those of C. oxysporum are subdenticulate, with 1–4 loci per node, measuring 14–46 × 0.8–1.5 μm, often thickened and refractive. Ramoconidia are smaller and frequently formed in C. lacerdae (10.5–18.5 × 2–4 μm), whereas they are larger and occasionally observed in C. oxysporum (25–30 × 5–6 μm). Terminal conidia of C. lacerdae are ellipsoid to fusiform and measure 2–6 × 2–3 μm. Secondary ramoconidia are ellipsoid, fusiform to subcylindrical, or cylindrical, with 1–2 distal hila, light brown, smooth to minutely verrucose, and measure 8.5–24 × 2.5–4 μm. In contrast, C. oxysporum produces globose to subglobose terminal conidia, 3–5 × 2–3 μm, and intercalary conidia in branched chains. These intercalary conidia are ovoid to ellipsoid, occasionally small fusiform, measuring 9–14 × 2.5–4 μm, with 2–5 distal hila that are slightly thickened and refractive. The closest phylogenetic species, C. oxysporum (CBS 125991), differs from C. lacerdae (URM 9210) by 8 bp in ACT, 16 bp in RPB 2, 8 bp in TEF 1 - α, and 7 bp in TUB; the ITS sequence has no base pair difference. For this species, the PHI test did not indicate evidence of genetic recombination (Fig. 6 B). These isolates were found at a sampling point outside the cave.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/14A55AED08025459B4346B55DF27DB3F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

( C. cladosporioides SC) is morphologically (Table 3) and phylogenetically (Figs 3, 9) related to C. rugulovarians and C. propiciense sp. nov. (this study), a clade having only species from Brazil. Cladosporium nogueirae and C. rugulovarians can be differentiated by several morphological characteristics, including the size and shape of their structures. The conidiophores of C. rugulovarians are distinctly longer (up to 475 µm), geniculate, and dichotomously branched, in contrast to those of C. nogueirae, which are not geniculate and measure 108–170 × 2.5–3.5 μm. The conidiogenous cells are also larger in C. rugulovarians (up to 60 µm long) than in C. nogueirae (5–11 × 1–3 μm). The ramoconidia of C. rugulovarians (20–55 × 3–4.5 μm) are larger than those of C. nogueirae (11–22 × 2–5 μm). Similarly, the secondary ramoconidia of C. rugulovarians [(9 –) 11–24 (– 30) × (2 –) 2.5–5.5 μm] are larger than those of C. nogueirae (5.5–12 × 1–3 μm). The terminal conidia also differ in shape and size, being fusiform to ellipsoid and measuring 4–7 × 1–3 μm in C. nogueirae, and globose to subglobose, measuring 3–6.5 × 3–5 μm in C. rugulovarians . The morphological differentiation between C. nogueirae (URM 9209) and C. propiciense (URM 9353) is highlighted below. The closest phylogenetic species, C. rugulovarians (CBS 140495), differs from C. nogueirae (URM 9209) by 4 bp in ACT, 16 bp in RPB 2, 5 bp in TEF 1 - α, and 6 bp in TUB, and the differences in bp from C. propiciense (URM 9353) are described below; ITS has no bp difference. The PHI test did not indicate evidence of genetic recombination (Fig. 7 A, B).

Subsequently, C. brigadeirense was proposed by Costa et al. (2022) as a sister species to C. puris, isolated from a decayed leaf of Chusquea urelytra ( Poaceae) in the same Brazilian region. In the phylogenetic analyses (Figs 3, 9, Suppl. materials 1 –3, 7, 8), these species are indistinguishable, as they share overlapping morphological characteristics (Table 3) and exhibit only a few differences in their DNA sequences: the type sequence of C. brigadeirense (COAD 2257) differs from the type sequence of C. puris (COAD 2487) by 3 bp in the ACT sequence, 5 bp in the TEF 1 - α sequence, and 2 bp in the TUB sequence; the ITS and RPB 2 sequences showed no base pair difference. Therefore, C. brigadeirense is here reduced to a synonym of C. puris . This study expands the known geographical distribution and ecological niche of C. puris to a Cerrado cave (found at a sampling point outside the cave)</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/EDA86140D41D5929A654C093F7632434	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The PHI analysis showed significant recombination, indicating intraspecific variation (Fig. 8 A). Thus, C. marinisedimentum is here synonymised with C. sphaerospermum .
