Thus, these isolates were identified as A. arundinis and Brunfelsia brasiliensis as a new host record for this species. Apiospora arundinis was introduced from Phyllostachys praecox, Castanea mollissima and Saccharum officinarum in China (Chen et al. 2014; Jiang et al. 2021; Liao et al. 2022). Comparing with the description from Chen et al. (2014) (5-7 × 2-4 µm), Jiang et al. (2021) (3-4 µm) and Liao et al. (2022) (4.5-7.4 × 3.3-4.4 µm), the conidia in this study show larger sizes (6.4-10.4 × 5.2-8.3 µm). These differences may result from different host and habitat.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/05626E625E3C55EF9D8A04B58A926EA0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

We compared the new species with phylogenetically similar taxa, based on morphological differences (Table 3) and base pair differences (Table 4). A. lophatheri can be differentiated from A. chromolaenae by its wider conidiogenous cells (2.2-11.9 × 2.2-4.9 µm vs. 6.5-12 × 1-2 µm) (from Euphorbia sp.; collected in Zambia; Ellis (1965)) and by 18 gene base pair differences (17/529 in ITS, 1/838 in LSU). A. lophatheri differs from A. euphorbiae by its larger olive to dark brown conidia (5.1-8.9 × 4.6-7.7 µm vs. 4-5.5 × 3-4 µm) (from Euphorbia sp.; collected in Zambia; Ellis (1965)), with nucleotide differences in ITS as 3/529, in LSU as 2/318, in tub2 as 22/801. A. italicum has smaller conidia (4-6 × 3-4 µm) (from Arundo donax; collected in Italy; Pintos et al. (2019)) and has 125 nucleotides differences (41/552 in ITS, 2/828 in LSU, 27/432 in tef1, 55/838 in tub2). Additionally, A. lophatheri is distinguished from A. malaysiana by having larger globose or subglobose conidia (5.1-8.9 × 4.6-7.7 µm vs. 5-6 × 3-4 µm) (from Macaranga hullettii; collected in Malaysia; Crous and Groenewald (2013)), with 43 nucleotide differences (3/529 in ITS, 1/838 in LSU, 18/424 in tef1, 21/801 in tub2). A. lophatheri differs from A. phyllostachydis by its relatively shorter conidiogenous cells (2.2-11.9 × 2.2-4.9 µm vs. 20-55 × 1.5-2.5 µm) (from Phyllostachys heteroclada; collected in China; Yang et al. (2019)) and by 48 nucleotides differences (7/529 in ITS, 3/838 in LSU, 12/424 in tef1, 26/795 in tub2). A. lophatheri can be differentiated from A. thailandica by having shorter conidiogenous cells (2.2-11.9 × 2.2-4.9 µm vs. 11.5-39 × 2-3.5 µm) (from bamboo; collected in Thailand; Dai et al. (2017)) and by 12 nucleotides differences (9/529 in ITS, 3/828 in LSU). The conidia of A. lophatheri are significantly wider and paler-coloured than those of A. vietnamense (5.1-8.9 × 4.6-7.7 µm vs. 5-6 × 3-4 µm) (from Citrus sinensis; collected in Vietnam; Wang et al. (2018)) and there are 7 nucleotides differences between the two species (2/526 in ITS, 2/803 in LSU, 3/315 in tub2). Therefore, A. lophatheri is described as a new species, based on phylogeny and morphological comparison.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2CD5427F4DD456BEBEC8CEC89EE63775	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

A. oenotherae differs from A. gaoyouense by its production of significantly conidiogenous cells (2.0-14.2 × 1.1-4.9 µm vs. 1-2 × 2-3 μm) (from Phragmites australis; collected in China; Jiang et al. (2018)) and the presence of 30 distinct nucleotide positions (9/583 in ITS, 12/413 in tef1, 9/784 in tub2). A. oenotherae is distinct from A. hispanicum in producing larger conidial cells (6.6-13.9 × 5.5-10.1 µm vs. 7.5-8.5 × 6.2-7.6 µm) (from maritime sand; collected in Spain; Larrondo and Calvo (1992)) and in 30 nucleotides differences (1/539 in ITS, 1/320 in LSU, 28/796 in tub2). A. oenotherae differs from A. locuta-pollinis by its production of significantly conidiogenous cells (2.0-14.2 × 1.1-4.9 µm vs. 3-7.5 × 3-6 μm) (from hive-stored pollen; collected in China; Zhao et al. (2018)) and by the presence of 19 distinct nucleotide positions (1/539 in ITS, 7/416 in tef1, 11/485 in tub2). A. longistroma can be distinguished by growth rate, growing slowly on PDA, reaching 60 mm in 4 weeks (from bamboo; collected in Thailand; Dai et al. (2017)) and by the presence of 8 distinct nucleotide positions (6/572 in ITS, 2/840 in LSU). Moreover, A. mari produces elongated cells intermingled amongst conidia (from beach sand; collected in Spain; Crous and Groenewald (2013)), but A. oenotherae does not and can be distinguished by the presence of 23 distinct nucleotide positions (1/539 in ITS, 10/414 in tef1, 12/787 in tub2). Strains of A. mediterranei were isolated from pharmaceutical excipient, air-borne and on grass in Spain, while those of A. oenotherae collected from Oenothera biennis in China. There are no discernible morphological characters distinguishing these species, but the elongated stem branches and the presence of 30 distinct nucleotide positions (1/539 in ITS, 1/320 in LSU, 28/796 in tub2) serve as clear indicators of their distinct and phylogenetically well-separated taxa. A. oenotherae differs from A. piptatheri because of its wider conidial cells (6.6-13.9 × 5.5-10.1 µm vs. 6-8 × 3-5 μm) (from Piptatherum miliaceum; collected in Spain; Pintos et al. (2019)) and the presence of 14 distinct nucleotide positions (10/528 in ITS, 4/827 in LSU). It also differentiates from A. pseudomarii through the production of notably wider conidial cells (6.6-13.9 × 5.5-10.1 µm vs. 6-9 × 4.5-6 µm) and through 12 unique nucleotide positions (5/556 in tef1, 7/416 in tub2) (from Aristolochia debilis; collected in China; Chen et al. (2021)).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4E48C012D87850A9B0E670877ECBD3A5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
