Thelonectria sinensis (J. Luo & W.Y. Zhuang) Z.Q. Zeng & W.Y. Zhuang , comb. nov.

MycoBank MB564935

Basionym. Neonectria sinensis Luo & Zhuang, Mycologia 102: 147. 2010.

Habitat. On bark of a coniferous tree.

Distribution. China, known only from the type locality.

Description and illustrations. Luo and Zhuang (2010).

Notes. The perithecial gross morphology and wall structure, and uniseptate, smooth-walled, hyaline ascospores of the fungus indicate its position in Thelonectria . The sequence analysis of the ITS and β- tubulin gene from type culture confirms the placement of the fungus, which will be discussed later ( FIG. 3 ).

FIGURE 3. One of thirty-six equally most parsimonious trees inferred from combined ITS and β-tubulin partial sequences. Abbreviations: Neo. = Neonectria, I. = Ilyonectria, T. = Thelonectria, N. = Nectria. Tree length = 1169, CI = 0.6296, HI = 0.3704, CI excluding uninformative characters = 0.5856, HI excluding uninformative characters = 0.4144, RI = 0.8426, Rescaled consistency index = 0.5305. Bootstrap values ≥50% from 1000 replicates are noted above internodes. Asterisks indicate sequences of ITS and β- tubulin gene were from different strains as shown in TABLE 1.
