Notes

Ellisembia brachypus was firstly reported as Sporidesmium branchypus in Shiwaliks ( Prasher and Singh 2014) and previously collected on dead branches of Moringa aoleifera Lam. in Kerela and Rajasthan ( Bilgrami et al. 1991, Jamaludeen et al. 2004). Later, it was found in Yunnan, China ( Luo et al. 2019).
