Notably, the taxonomic validity of  H. campes is compromised due to its description being solely in Chinese, which does not meet the requisite standards set forth by the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN). According to the ICN, the descriptions of new species must be provided in English or Latin (McNeill et al. 2012).</p><p>Furthermore, based on the priority under ICN, the genus  Hirsutella has been considered as a synonym of the genus  Ophiocordyceps (Quandt et al. 2014) . Through morphological and five-gene phylogenetic analyses, it is more appropriate to assign this species to  Ophiocordyceps . Since the name  O. campes was already used by Tasanathai et al. (2020), we renamed our species as  O. sinocampes .</p><p>In this study, we described the sexual stage, completing the species’ sexual and asexual stage descriptions. Additionally, a new specimen of this species was reported in the karst landform area — Malinghe Valley, Xingyi, enhancing our understanding of the species’ hosts and habitats.</p><p>O. sinocampes is closely related to  O. multiperitheciata Tasan., Thanakitp., Khons. &amp; Luangsa-ard (Luangsa-ard et al. 2018) and  H. strigosa (Petch 1939) . Morphologically,  O. sinocampes is similar to  H. strigosa due to the long and base-inflated phialides, but it differs in having tapering phialides of  O. sinocampes .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/54C66E137FC25C738D791A53465B864D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
