Notes.

Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was originally described as Vermicularia gloeosporioides and collected from Citrus sp. in Italy. The current name Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was proposed by Penzig (1882). Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is a worldwide fungus that inhabits a wide range of host plants. In our study, 17 strains and three species (i. e., C. citrulli , C. juglandicola and C. peakense ) were robustly grouped with C. gloeosporioides , supported by high Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI) confidence values (ML / BI = 88 / 0.90). Zhang et al. (2023 b) reduced C. dimorphum and C. nanhuaense as synonyms of C. gloeosporioides . Further research is needed to confirm the taxonomic status of C. citrulli , C. juglandicola and C. peakense . The morphology of the strains in our study closely resembles the type specimen of C. gloeosporioides , as described by Cannon et al. (2008). Thus, we propose the identification of our strains as C. gloeosporioides , based on both morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses. The result proves that walnut anthracnose has been attributed to C. gloeosporioides ( Wang et al. 2020 a; Mu et al. 2021; Yang et al. 2021; Li et al. 2023).
