Notes.

Clonostachys shanghaiensis was established by Zhang et al. (2023), based on ITS and tub 2 sequence data ( HMAS 351878). Clonostachys shanghaiensis clustered as a sister clade to C. rossmaniae (95 % MLB, 0.99 BYPP) ( Zhang et al. 2023). In this study, phylogenetic analysis showed that Clonostachys shanghaiensis formed a successive sister clade with S. phyllophila , S. saulensis , and S. candelabrum (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ). It is worth noting that S. phyllophila , S. saulense , and S. candelabrum were renamed by Zhao et al. (2023) as C. phyllophila ( Schroers 2001) , C. saulensis ( Lechat et al. 2020) , C. candelabrum ( Schroers 2001) and C. chuyangsinensis ( Wang et al. 2023) based on morphology and phylogenetic analysis. Therefore, based on phylogenetic analysis, we propose C. shanghaiensis as a synonym of S. shanghaiense .
