            <p>Fig. 2</p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p>Asexual morph: On WA, hyphae smooth, branched, septate, 1.2–3.5 µm diam. (n = 30). Conidiophores cylindrical, septate, erect, sometimes reduced to conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells erect, subglobose to ampulliform, aggregated in clusters on hyphae, smooth, branched, 5–15 × 1–2.5 µm (x = 8.5 × 6 µm, n = 30). Conidia globose, sub-globose to ampulliform, lenticular, occasionally elongated to ellipsoidal, with a longitudinal germ slit, brown to dark brown, smooth to finely roughened, 6–14 × 4–7 µm (x = 10.5 × 6 µm, n = 30) µm. Sexual morph: Not observed.</p>
            <p>Culture characteristics.</p>
            <p>Colonies on PDA attaining 5 cm diam, after 4 days at 25 ° C, thick, dense, surface with patches of grey aerial mycelia, margin irregular and undulate, diffuse yellow pigment, reverse yellow.</p>

            <p>  China • Guizhou Province:  Guiyang City , on diseased bamboo branch, 5 June 2022, K. M. Yu, living cultures: GUCC 6.1. and GUCC 6.2  . </p>
            <p>Notes.</p>
            <p> In the present study, two new isolates (GUCC 6.1 and GUCC 6.2) clustered together with  Ap. arundinis (CBS 133509) with high-support values (ML / BI = 98 / 1) in the multi-locus phylogenetic tree (Fig. 1). Morphologically, GUCC 6.1 and GUCC 6.2 have similar conidiophores, conidiogenous cells, and conidia to  Ap. arundinis (Li et al. 2023) .  Ap. arundinis was found on various plants, including  Phyllostachys praecox ,  Castanea mollissima , and  Brunfelsia brasiliensis in China (Chen et al. 2014; Liao et al. 2022; Li et al. 2023). The conidia sizes of our collection (6–14 × 4–7 µm) larger than Chen et al. (2014) (5–7 × 2–4 µm) and Liao et al. (2022) (4.5–7.4 × 3.3–4.4 µm). Comparing with the description from Li et al. (2023) (6.4–10.4 × 5.2–8.3 µm), they have similar sizes, but the conidia in this study are slenderer and more elongated. Combining phylogenetic tree and morphology, these strains were identified as  Ap. arundinis . </p>

            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>Name refers to the host plant, meaning of bamboo stem, from which this fungus was isolated.</p>

            <p>Asexual morph: On WA, hyphae smooth, branched, septate, hyaline to brown, 1–3.5 µm diam (n = 30).

            <p>Notes.</p>
            <p> The phylogenetic tree indicated that  Ap. bambusicaulis is closely related to a clade comprising  Ap. thailandica ,  Ap. jinanensis , and  Ap. italica with high support values (ML / BI = 99 / 1) in the multi-locus phylogenetic tree (Fig. 1).  Ap. bambusicaulis differs from  Ap. thailandica (Table 4) by 18 nucleotides (13 / 518 in ITS, 2 / 804 in LSU, 2 / 374 in TEF 1 - α, and 1 / 265 in TUB 2), from  Ap. italica by 58 nucleotides (17 / 518 in ITS, 4 / 799 in LSU, 26 / 377 in TEF 1 - α, and 11 / 266 in TUB 2), and from  Ap. jinanensis by 28 nucleotides (3 / 573 in ITS, 3 / 821 in LSU, 12 / 438 in TEF 1 - α, and 12 / 464 in TUB 2). Morphologically, it differs from  Ap. thailandica ,  Ap. italica , and  Ap. jinanensis in conidia (brown, smooth, globose, 4.5–6 × 5–6 µm (x = 5.5 × 5.5 µm, n = 30) in  Ap. bambusicaulis vs. globose, subglobose to lenticular, 5–9 × 5–8 μm in  Ap. thailandica vs. brown, smooth, globose, (3 –) 4–7 (– 9) × (1.5 –) 2–3 (– 5.0) μm in  Ap. italica vs. brown to dark brown, smooth to finely roughened 5.7–6.9 × 5.2–6.7 μm in  Ap. jinanensis (Table 3), and base pair differences. Therefore,  Ap. bambusicaulis is described as a new species, based on phylogeny and morphological comparison. </p>

            <p>  China • Guizhou Province:  Guiyang City , on diseased stems of bamboo, 6 June 2023, 5 June 2022, K. M. Yu, holotype HGUP 18.51; ex-type culture GUCC 18.51  ). </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The word bambusilentiginis originated from “ bambusaceae, ” referring to the host plant, and “ speckle, ” referring to cracks caused on bamboo stems, from which this fungus was isolated.</p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p>Asexual morph: On WA, hyphae smooth, branched, septate, 1–5.5 µm diam (n = 30). Conidiophores cylindrical, septate, flexuous, sometimes reduced to conidiogenous cells.

            <p>Notes.</p>
            <p> The phylogenetic analysis showed that  Apiospora bambusilentiginis is closely related to  Ap. guizhouensis and  Ap. sacchari (Fig. 1). They differ in distinct morphological characters (Table 3) and nucleotide differences (Table 5).  Apiospora bambusilentiginis differs from  Ap. guizhouensis by 18 nucleotides (8 / 580 in ITS, 8 / 442 in TEF 1 - α, and 2 / 440 in TUB 2) and  Ap. sacchari by 42 nucleotides (35 / 583 in ITS, 1 / 440 in TEF 1 - α, and 6 / 483 in TUB 2). Morphologically, it differs from  Ap. guiyangensis and  Ap. sacchari in its conidia. The conidia of  Apiospora bambusilentiginis are globose, subglobose to ovate, lenticular, while the conidia of  Ap. guizhouensis are guttulate, globose to ellipsoid. In addition, comparing with  Ap. guizhouensis (5.0–7.5 × 4.0–7.0 μm), the conidia of  Apiospora bambusilentiginis (6–8.5 × 4.5–8 (x = 7.5 × 7.5 µm, n = 30) show larger sizes (Crous and Groenewald 2013; Wang et al. 2018). </p>

            <p> Ap. bambusirimae is genetically close to  Ap. neogarethjonesii and  Ap. setostroma (Fig. 1), but the conidia of  Ap. bambusirimae are 9–20 × 5–15.5 µm (x ̄ = 20.5 × 13 µm, n = 30), shorter and narrower than those of  Ap. neogarethjonesii and  Ap. setostroma , which are 20–35 × 15–30 µm and 18–20 × 15–19 µm.
