Subsequently, C. brigadeirense was proposed by Costa et al. (2022) as a sister species to C. puris, isolated from a decayed leaf of Chusquea urelytra (Poaceae) in the same Brazilian region. In the phylogenetic analyses (Figs 3, 9, Suppl. materials 1 –3, 7, 8), these species are indistinguishable, as they share overlapping morphological characteristics (Table 3) and exhibit only a few differences in their DNA sequences: the type sequence of C. brigadeirense (COAD 2257) differs from the type sequence of C. puris (COAD 2487) by 3 bp in the ACT sequence, 5 bp in the TEF 1 - α sequence, and 2 bp in the TUB sequence; the ITS and RPB 2 sequences showed no base pair difference. Therefore, C. brigadeirense is here reduced to a synonym of C. puris. This study expands the known geographical distribution and ecological niche of C. puris to a Cerrado cave (found at a sampling point outside the cave)
