Melanocamarosporioides ugamica was reported from Uzbekistan on dead trunk and branches of  Lonicera altmannii ( Caprifoliaceae) (Pem et al. 2019 b), while our collection was found on dead branches of  Rosa ecae .  Melanocamarosporioides ugamica (TASM 6133) is characterized by an asexual morph, namely black, globose, superficial conidiomata and large conidia, which are multiseptate and distinctively dark brown, while our collection (TASM 6175) is in its sexual state, characterized by globose to ovoid, dark brown to black ascomata, cylindrical asci, and dark brown, ellipsoidal, muriform ascospores. Multi-gene phylogeny (LSU, SSU, ITS, and TEF- 1) shows that our collection groups with  Melanocamarosporioides ugamica (MFLUCC 17-2314) in a 99 % ML and 1.00 BYPP supported clade. With regard to DNA sequence data comparison, there is a difference of 0.69 % (6 out of 865), 0.84 % (9 out of 1067), and 0 % (0 out of 470) in nucleotide variations within the LSU, SSU, and ITS genes, respectively. Hence, we introduce our collection as a new host record of  Melanocamarosporioides from  Rosa ecae . This is also the first sexual morph report in  Melanocamarosporioides . The phylogenetic placement of our strain TASM 6175 is shown in Fig. 1.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4474C9BD48C452638AB9A09C0EC19C8F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Our collection is different from the type species  M. uzbekistanica in having smaller ascomata (200–400 × 250–400 μm vs. 500–700 × 550–750 μm), smaller asci (160–175 × 13–14 μm vs. 280–300 × 19–23 µm), smaller ascospores (18–25 × 7–9 μm vs. 37–47 × 17–19 µm) and number of septa (4–6 transverse septa, 3–7 longitudinal septa vs. 6–8 transverse septa, 3–4 longitudinal septa) (Wanasinghe et al. 2018).  Melanocucurbitaria uzbekistanica also differs from  M. uktampratovii in having black, semi-immersed ascomata, ostiole filled with brown cells, ascospores which are pale brown at maturity, broadly rounded at the ends, surrounded by a mucilaginous sheath when immature while  M. uktampratovii has immersed or semi erumpent ascomata, indistinct ostiole, with a small papilla, ascospores which are dark brown at maturity, obtuse at the ends and lacking a mucilaginous sheath. According to the multi-gene phylogeny, our collection clusters with the isolate of  Melanocucurbitaria uzbekistanica (MFLUCC 17-0829) in 90 % ML and 1.00 BYPP supported clade. The nucleotide base comparison of LSU, ITS and TEF- 1 regions showed that our strain (TASM 6176) differs from the type strain of  M. uzbekistanica (MFLUCC 17-0829) by 23 / 865 bp (2.65 %), 15 / 439 bp (3.41 %) and 20 / 571 bp (3.5 %), respectively. Therefore, we introduce our collection as a new species based on morphology and phylogeny. The phylogenetic placement of our strain (TASM 6176) is shown in Fig. 1.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/EBDBEF5ADDFE5F31A35C8BEDD9F03C16	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
