Based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses, 100 species are identified and distributed in three classes (Dothideomycetes, Leotiomycetes and Sordariomycetes), 16 orders, 37 families and 67 genera. We introduce one new order, Oncopodiellales, three new families, Catenuliconidiaceae, Diplocladiellaceae and Oncopodiellaceae, one new genus, Biascospora, and 54 new species: Achroiostachys browniana, A. catenate, A. fusiformispora, Acrocalymma xishuiense, Amphisphaeria hibiscicola, Apiculospora thailandensis, Arecophila maolanensis, A. yunanensis, Barriopsis caryotae, Biascospora chishuiensis, Conioscypha synnemata, Diaporthe ervatamiae, D. kunmingensis, D. tu-chungcola, D. xishuiensis, D. hannanensis, Distoseptispora gelatinosa, D. greeniana, Gregatothecium diflugoscola, Helicosporium multiseptatum, Helminthosporium thailandicum, Kalmusia tetrastigmae, Keissleriella yunnana, Lasiodiplodia houttuyniae, L. poacearum, Leptospora houttuyniae, Lophiotrema asexualis, L. guizhouense, Melanopsamma tongrenensis, Memnoniella chiangmaiensis, Murichromolaenicola dendrobii, Neoheleiosa brownii, Neohelicascus guizhouensis, Neohelicomyces sexualis, Neohendersonia tongrenensis, Neomassaria fibraureae, Neoscytalidium dendrobii, Parabahusutrabeeja hyalina, Paramyrothecium xishuiense, Phaeosphaeria boehmeriae, P. guiyangensis, Phaeosphaeriopsis spineleae, Porodiplodia guizhouensis, Psiloglonium bambusicola, P. brownii, P. guizhouense, Roussoella panzhouensis, R. wudangensis, Seriascoma guizhouense, Sphaeropsis guiyangensis, Striaticonidium olivaceobrunnea, Tamhinispora obpyriformis, V. chiangraiensis and Virgatospora thailandica, with illustrations, discussions of their taxonomic placement, and comparisons with morphologically similar taxa. Ten new combinations are introduced: Conioscypha chiangmaiense (≡ Vanakripa chiangmaiense), C. minutiellipsoidea (≡ Vanakripa minutiellipsoidea), Conioscypha obovoidea (≡ Vanakripa obovoidea), Keissleriella acacia (≡ Pleurophoma acaciae), K. italicum (≡ Pleurophoma italica), K. ossicula (≡ Pleurophoma ossicola), K. pleurospora (≡ Phoma pleurospora), Phaeosphaeria brachylaenae (≡ Didymocyrtis brachylaenae), P. pini (≡ Didymocyrtis pini) and P. septata (≡ Didymocyrtis septata). Additionally, we report 31 new host records from medicinal plants and six new geographical records for China and Thailand. We also resolved inter-generic synonymy for three species. A reference specimen is designated for Diplocladiella taurina. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of all these taxa are provided. 54 new species Dothideomycetes Multi-gene Phylogeny Sordariomycetes Taxonomy Full Text Cite Share Download PDF Status: Published Journal Publication published 10 Mar, 2025 Read the published version in Fungal Diversity → Version 1 posted Reviewers agreed at journal 02 Sep, 2024 Reviewers invited by journal 02 Sep, 2024 Editor invited by journal 28 Aug, 2024 Editor assigned by journal 06 Aug, 2024 First submitted to journal 04 Aug, 2024 You are reading this latest preprint version Research Square lets you share your work early, gain feedback from the community, and start making changes to your manuscript prior to peer review in a journal.
