Conidiophores 144–193.5 × 3.5–6.5 μm (x – ̄ = 167.5 × 5 μm, n = 25), macronematous, mononematous, erect, cylindrical, straight or slightly flexuous, typically curved at the apex, unbranched, septate, subhyaline to pale brown, thick-walled.

Neohelicomyces aquisubtropicus (HKAS 128947) differs from N. edgeworthiae (HKAS 128877) in having smaller conidia (14.5–17 μm diam. and 82.5–126.5 μm long vs. 21.5–34 μm diam. and 121–177 μm long) (Ma et al. 2024 b). Additionally, N. denticulatus (GZAAS 20-0339) and N. pandanicola (HKAS 96202) can be distinguished from N. aquisubtropicus (HKAS 128947) by their wider conidial diameters (16–22 μm and 28–44 μm vs. 14.5–17 μm) (Tibpromma et al. 2018; Yang et al. 2023). Moreover, base pair comparisons between N. aquisubtropicus (GZCC 23-0080) and related species reveal the following differences. Compared to N. denticulatus (GZCC 19-0444), there are 23 / 487 bp differences in ITS (4.7 %, with 13 gaps). Compared to N. edgeworthiae (CGMCC 3.25565), there are 26 / 521 bp differences in ITS (5.0 %, with 14 gaps), 21 / 929 bp differences in tef 1 - α (2.3 %, with 7 gaps), and 27 / 811 bp differences in rpb 2 (3.3 %, with 10 gaps). In comparison with N. pandanicola (KUMCC 16-0143), there are 27 / 509 bp differences in ITS (5.3 %, with 13 gaps) and 15 / 827 bp differences in tef 1 - α (1.8 %, with 7 gaps). Therefore, we introduce N. aquisubtropicus as a new species based on morphology and multigene phylogenetic analysis.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/6CA725B7D38A56949E7F411C2D3CC073	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Neohelicomyces wuzhishanensis (HKAS 128942) can be distinguished from N. guizhouensis (KAS 134924) by its wider conidial diameters (23–26 μm vs. 18–21.5 μm) (Ma et al. 2024 a). Moreover, base pair comparison of N. wuzhishanensis (GZCC 23-0410) and N. guizhouensis (GZCC 23-0725) shows 31 / 539 bp differences in ITS (5.8 %, gaps 13 bp), 4 / 530 bp differences in LSU (0.8 %, gaps 3 bp), 13 / 877 bp differences in tef 1 - α (1.5 %), and 23 / 939 bp differences in rpb 2 (2.4 %). Therefore, based on the multigene phylogenetic analysis and morphological differences, we introduce N. wuzhishanensis as a novel species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/80BE7AFF2F4659B099AC881ADA99853E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
