Ilyonectria hubeiensis (W.Y. Zhuang, Y. Nong & J. Luo) Z.Q. Zeng & W.Y. Zhuang , comb. nov.

MycoBank MB564934

Basionym. Neonectria hubeiensis Zhuang, Nong & Luo, Fungal Diversity 24: 351. 2007.

Habitat. On fruits of Rhododendron sp.

Distribution. China, known only from the type locality.

Description and illustrations. Zhuang et al. (2007).

Notes. The anatomy of perithecia, and uniseptate, hyaline and smooth ascospores of this species suggest that it belongs to the genus Ilyonectria . Sequence analysis of the combined ITS and partial β- tubulin gene from type culture confirms its taxonomic position in this genus, which will be discussed later in this paper ( FIG. 3 ).

FIGURE 3. One of thirty-six equally most parsimonious trees inferred from combined ITS and β-tubulin partial sequences. Abbreviations: Neo. = Neonectria, I. = Ilyonectria, T. = Thelonectria, N. = Nectria. Tree length = 1169, CI = 0.6296, HI = 0.3704, CI excluding uninformative characters = 0.5856, HI excluding uninformative characters = 0.4144, RI = 0.8426, Rescaled consistency index = 0.5305. Bootstrap values ≥50% from 1000 replicates are noted above internodes. Asterisks indicate sequences of ITS and β- tubulin gene were from different strains as shown in TABLE 1.
