    Neohormodochis D.P.Wei & K.D.Hyde, gen. nov. Index Fungorum number: IF559771 Faces of Fungi number: FoF12297 Etymology: The epithet refers to the close phylogenetic relationship with Hormodochis. Type species: Neohormodochis septispora D. P. Wei and K. D. Hyde, sp. nov. Saprobic on dead twigs. Sexual morph: Undetermined. Asexual morph: Conidiomata perithecial, immersed, conical to subglobose, gregarious, white-pruinose. Conidiomatal wall consisting of hyaline, intricate hyphae, encompassed with crystalline substances. Conidiophores reduced to conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells holoblastic, hyaline, cylindrical, developing from hyphae of conidiomatal wall. Conidia hyaline, ellipsoidal, twocelled, occasionaly asepate, slightly curved, forming branched chains. Notes: Neohormodochis was introduced to accommodate the new species N. septispora which was found on dead twigs in Yunnan Province, China. The new species nested with Hormodochis as a sister clade. Hormodochis is known from three asexual morphic species viz. H. aggregata, H. eucalypti and H. melanochlora. All three species have non-pruinose conidiomata, non-crystalline conidiomatal wall of thin-walled, brown textura angularis, holothallic conidiogenous cells with upper cells becoming fertile, septate and disarticulating into arthroconidia. The arthroconidia are olivaceous brown, aseptate, subcylindrical to somewhat doliiform, with truncate ends (Crous et al. 2020a). However, Neohormodochis septispora produces white-pruinose conidiomata, crystalline conidiomatal wall and hyaline, holobalstic conidiogenous cells with upper cells becoming fertile and budding new conidia rather than arthroconidia. The conidia of N. septispora are hyaline, ellipsoidal, dominantly septate, slightly curved, round at both ends. Phylogenetic placement and differences on morphology of conidiomata, conidiomatal wall, and conidia as well as conidiogenesis separate our collections from Hormodochis.Published as part of Wei, De-Ping, Gentekaki, Eleni, Wanasinghe, Dhanushka N., Hyde, Kevin D., To-Anun, Chaiwat & Cheewangkoon, Ratchadawan, 2022, Neohormodochis septispora gen. et sp. nov.

    Neohormodochis septispora D. P. Wei & K. D. Hyde, sp. nov. (Figure 2) Index Fungorum number: IF 559772 Faces of Fungi number: FoF12298 Etymology: The epithet “ septispora ” refers to the septate conidia. Holotype: China, Yunnan Province, Kunming, Panlong district, Kunming Institute of Botany, on an unidentified dead twig, 31 March 2021, Cuijinyi Li, KLCJY54 (HKAS 124171, holotype), (KUNCC 22-10806, ex-type culture). Saprobic on an unidentified dead twigs. Sexual morph: Undetermined. Asexual morph: Conidiomata 165–360 × 140–340 (x̄ = 282 × 252, n = 10) μm, perithecial, immersed, conical to subglobose, white-pruinose, gregarious, with olivaceous green content. Conidiomatal wall 11–30 (x̄ = 19, n = 30) μm, consisting of hyaline, intricate hyphae, being encompassed by a layer of irregularly-shaped crystals. Conidiophores reduced to conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cell 3.5–10 × 0.8–2.4 (x̄ = 7 × 1.6, n = 25) μm, arising from stromatic cells, hyaline, cylindrical, thin-walled, the first conidium becoming conidiogenous by apical wall-building to form connected chain. Conidia 7.6–12 × 2–3.8 (x̄ = 9.5 × 3.3, n = 40) μm, hyaline, ellipsoidal, two-celled, occasionally asepate, slightly curved, arranged in branched chain. Culture characteristics: isolates were obtained from germinating conidia. Colony slow-growing, reaching 2 cm after 8 weeks on PDA, white, circular, mycelia dense, velvety, reverse creamy-yellow. Additional materials examined: China, Yunnan Province, Kunming, Panlong district, Heilongtan Park, 31 March 2021, Cuijinyi Li, HLCJY57 (HKAS 124172), (KUNCC22-10807, living culture); HLCJY58 (HKAS 124174), (KUNCC22-10808, living culture); HLCJY59 (HKAS 124173), (KUNCC22-10809, living culture); ibid. Songhuaba reservoir, 11 December 2021, De-Ping Wei, SHB1225 (HKAS 124170), (KUNCC22-10810, living culture). Notes: Phylogenetically, Neohormodochis septispora has a sister affiliation to a clade comprising Hormodochis aggregata, H. melanochlora and H. eucalypti (Figure 1). Morphologically, N. septispora is similar with H. aggregata by catenulate conidia but differs by the hyaline, ellipsodial and septate conidia while it is olivaceous brown, subcylindrical to doliiform, and aseptate in the latter (Crous et al. 2020a). Hormodochis melanochlora is distinct by erumpent, globose, brown conidiomata that are immersed, conical to globose, white-pruinose from N. septispora (Crous et al. 2020a). Hormodochis eucalypti (syn. Phacidiella eucalypt) has dark brown to black conidiomata and subcylindrical to barrel-shaped conidia that are dramatically different from N. septispora (Crous et al. 2007, 2020b).Published as part of Wei, De-Ping, Gentekaki, Eleni, Wanasinghe, Dhanushka N., Hyde, Kevin D., To-Anun, Chaiwat & Cheewangkoon, Ratchadawan, 2022, Neohormodochis septispora gen. et sp. nov.
