Abstract

Pseudolophiostoma mangiferae, isolated from a dead stem of Mangifera indica, collected in Fanlu Township area, Dahu village in Chiayi, Taiwan (Elevation 634 m) and is introduced as a new species based on morphological data and DNA sequence analyses. Maximum parsimony, Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of combined ITS, LSU, SSU and tef1-α sequence data were performed to clarify the phylogenetic affinities of the species. Pseudolophiostoma mangiferae is distinguished from the other Pseudolophiostoma species based on distinct size differences in ascomata, asci, ascospores and DNA sequence data. In addition, Neovaginatispora fuckelii is described as a new record from Taiwan. Both species are compared with other similar species and comprehensive descriptions and micrographs are provided.
