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.
