(1200 m; 37.8 ° N, 112.5 ° E), 15 Oct. 2023, Y. Z. He, holotype HSAUP 1175, ex-type CGMCC 3.28266.	en	He, Yong-Ze (2025): Neopyrenochaetopsis machili sp. nov. on Machilus nanmu from Shanxi Province, China.

038187E49862FFDF77DEA9D1FCE5FDA3.taxon	description	Description. Colonies on PDA incubated at 25 ° C in the dark, reaching 73 – 76 mm diam., margin scalloped or irregularly round, center olive green and flavogreen edges, aerial mycelium moderately developed, reverse similarity. Conidiomata solitary or aggregated, formed on agar surface, black, globose to subglobose, 150 – 250 × 150 – 300 mm. Conidiophores are inapparent and often reduced to conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells phialidic, ampulliform, straight or slightly curved, slightly branched, 4.2 – 7.7 × 2 – 2.6. Conidia solitary, obovoid to ellipsoid, 2.8 – 3.8 × 1.5 – 2.2 μm, mean ± SD = 3.3 ± 0.2 × 1.8 ± 0.2 μm, hyaline, 1 – 2 guttulate, smooth, apex obtuse, base with inconspicuous hilum. Sexual morph not observed. Additional specimens examined: China, Shanxi Province: Taiyuan City, on leaves of Machilus nanmu (Oliv.) Hemsl., 15 Oct. 2023, Y. Z. He, HSAUP 1125, living culture H 1125. Notes. Phylogenetic analyses showed that Neopyrenochaetopsis machili formed an independent clade closely related to Neopyrenochaetopsis hominis CBS 143033 (Fig. 1). Neopyrenochaetopsis machili was distinguished from N. hominis (CBS 143033) by 5 / 815 base pairs in the LSU, 47 / 537 in the ITS, 50 / 304 in the tub, and 153 / 874 in the rpb 2, including gaps. The conidia of N. machili were similar to those of N. hominis (2.8 – 3.8 × 1.5 – 2.2 vs. 3 – 3.5 × 1.5 – 2 µm), but the conidiomata and colonies of N. machili differed from those of N. hominis (black vs. brown). The new isolates were described here as a new species based on their distinct morphological characteristics and DNA based differences as recommended by Jeewon and Hyde (2016).	en	He, Yong-Ze (2025): Neopyrenochaetopsis machili sp. nov. on Machilus nanmu from Shanxi Province, China.
