Notes.

Scytalidium infestans was introduced by Iwatsu et al. (1990). Neodevriesia cladophorae was introduced by Wang et al. (2017). In this study, the ex-type strain ( CBS 161.91 ) of S. infestans nested in the genus Neodevriesia and was closely related to N. cladophorae (ex-type CGMCC 3.17901 ) (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ). Additionally, both S. infestans and N. cladophorae share similar conidia and chlamydospore-like cell morphology and dimensions ( Iwatsu et al. 1990; Wang et al. 2017), along with highly conserved sequences. The ITS and LSU sequence similarities between S. infestans ( CBS 161.91 ) and N. cladophorae ( CGMCC 3.17901 ) were 99.6 % and 100 %, respectively. Since S. infestans was published prior to N. cladophorae , we transfer S. infestans to Neodevriesia as Neodevriesia infestans , with N. cladophorae being synonymized under it.
