Phragmocapnias Theiss. & Syd.

Phragmocapnias was previously linked with Conidiocarpus and accepted as the sexual morph of Conidiocarpus . According to the nomenclatural rule of one name for one fungus, Bose et al. (2014) concluded that Conidiocarpus should be treated as a synonym of Phragmocapnias for these interconnected genera. Apart from Ph. philippinensis , all species within Phragmocapnias were transferred to Conidiocarpus by Bose et al. (2014). Following Bose et al. (2014), Hongsanan et al. (2015) synonymized Ph. philippinensis under Co. philippinensis . Abdollahzadeh et al. (2020) revealed that the type species of Conidiocarpus and Phragmocapnias formed as two distinct clades, representing two separate genera. While, two strains of Conidiocarpus ( Co. betle and Co. plumeriae ) clustered with Phragmocapnias clade ( Abdollahzadeh et al. 2020, this study). Consequently, Ph. betle is resurrected, and Co. plumeriae was transferred to Phragmocapnias ( Abdollahzadeh et al. 2020) . In this study, we provide a new strain for Ph. betle , introducing the new host record from Rosa × damascena.
