Remarks.

Verticillium antillanum was transferred to the genus Lecanicillium by Zare and Gams (2001). Crous et al. (2023) introduced a new genus Gamszarella and combined Lecanicillium antillanum with Gamszarella based on the phylogenetic analysis. The morphological characteristics of Gamszarella antillana were similar to Corniculantispora aranearum (Petch) Khons. et al. , C. dimorpha (J. D. Chen) Khons. et al. , C. psalliotae (Treschew) Khons. et al. , Flavocillium acerosum (Zare & W. Gams) H. Yu et al. , and both species produce two types of conidia ( Wang et al. 2020; Khonsanit et al. 2024). However, Gamszarella antillana was distinguished from Corniculantispora aranearum , C. dimorpha , C. psalliotae and Flavocillium acerosum by the phylogenetic analysis (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 ). Besides, the morphological characteristics of Gamszarella antillana do not fit with the typical characteristics of the genus Gamszarella . Thus, Gamszarella antillana was combined into the new genus Neogamszarella as Neogamszarella antillana .
