6C037F06FFB6FE2D86A0FA74FE66FC10.taxon	description	Saprobic on living and decaying branches of an unidentified bamboo. Sexual morph: not observed. Asexual morph: hyphomycetous. Colonies on the natural substrate effuse, hairy, black, developing on the upper side of branches of the host. Mycelium immersed and superficial, forming dark brown stromata. Conidiomata synnematous, erect, subcylindrical, dark brown to black, 980 – 1500 µm tall, 15.5 – 24 µm wide at the apex, 30 – 50 µm wide at the base, with conidiogenous cells distributed mostly towards the upper half of the synnemata. Conidiophores macronematous, simple, dark brown, smooth to verruculose 900 – 1300 × 2 – 5 µm. Conidiogenous cells mostly lateral, monoblastic, (sub) cylindrical, integrated, determinate, smooth, 2 – 5 × 2 – 4 µm. Conidia subcylindrical to fusiform, straight to slightly curved or sigmoid, dark brown, verrucose, with an obtuse apex and a truncate base, dark brown at maturity, 38.5 – 51 × 10 – 15 µm (x ̅ = 44 × 11.9 µm), with up to 8 transverse septa, conidial secession schizolytic. Germination occurs from the apical cell of the conidia.	en	Lu, Zheng-Hua, Wanasinghe, Dhanushka N., Madrid, Hugo, Maharachchikumbura, Sajeewa S. N. (2022): Hyphocapnodia sichuanensis gen. et sp. nov.

6C037F06FFB6FE2D86A0FA74FE66FC10.taxon	discussion	Notes: In BLASTn searches with the ITS sequence of this fungus, the closest hits were Polychaeton citri (strain CBS 116435, GenBank OM 238161; Identities = 568 / 596 (95 %), 9 gaps (1 % )), Conidiocarpus caucasicus (voucher UBCF 23755, GenBank KF 263962; Identities = 535 / 564 (95 %), 9 gaps (1 % )), and Capnodium sp. (strain TMS - 2011, GenBank HQ 631045; Identities = 532 / 563 (94 %), 8 gaps (1 % )). Based on morphology and sequence data, Hyphocapnodia is clearly distinct from the other members of the Capnodiaceae. In vitro, this fungus showed a remarkably different morphology, characterized by the absence of synnemata and micronematous conidiophores giving rise to conidia 55 – 132 × 9 – 16 µm (x ̅ = 89.9 × 12.5 µm, n = 16), which often appeared sinuous and showed up to 14 septa (mostly 5 – 10). Hyphocapnodia morphologically resembles Phaeoisaria (Pleurotheciaceae), Dokmaia (Pleosporales genera incertae sedis) and Neosporidesmium (Dothideomycetes genera incertae sedis) with its unbranched conidiophores forming distinct synnematal conidiomata (De Hoog & Papendorf 1976, Promputtha et al. 2003, Verma et al. 2021). However, these genera are phylogenetically distant from our new genus. The new genus has relatively close phylogenetic proximity to the Capnodium species. However, the asexual of these genera is distinct. Hyphocapnodia has synnematal conidiomata, whereas Capnodium is characterized by pycnidial conidiomata (Abdollahzadeh et al. 2020). The species of Capnodiaceae are morphologically diverse; however, the genus Hyphocapnodia can be clearly distinguished from other genera in Capnodiaceae.	en	Lu, Zheng-Hua, Wanasinghe, Dhanushka N., Madrid, Hugo, Maharachchikumbura, Sajeewa S.
