Notes.

Ariyawansa et al. (2015) introduced this genus to place Pseudopithomyces chartarum as the type species. Pseudopithomyces has a cosmopolitan distribution worldwide ( Hyde et al. 2017; Wu et al. 2023; Farr and Rossman 2025). Species have fusiform, verruculose, dark conidia and produce brown to black colonies on the host ( Ariyawansa et al. 2015; Jayasiri et al. 2019; Tennakoon et al. 2021). Currently, 13 Pseudopithomyces species are listed in Species Fungorum (2025). In this study, we introduce a new host record of P. chartarum from a dead leaf of Hedychium coronarium ( Zingiberaceae ).
