Etymology.
Named from " Juglans ", in reference to the host genus.
Description.
Sexual morph not observed. Asexual morph developed on MEA. Conidiomata acervular, yellow to light brown, bearing conidial masses. Conidiophores hyaline, smooth-walled, septate, branched. Setae medium to dark brown, smooth to finely verruculose close to the tip, the tip rounded, 1-3 aseptate, 60-107.2 μm long. Conidiogenous cells 19.5-38.9 × 2.8-3.9 μm (mean SD = 28.6 ± 1.2 × 3.3 ± 0.1 μm, n = 20), subcylindrical, straight to curved. Conidia 14.6-20.0 × 4.2-6.6 μm (mean SD = 17.1 ± 1.0 × 5.2 ± 0.4 μm, L/W radio = 3.3, n = 100), hyaline, smooth-walled, subcylindrical, both ends round, 1-3-guttulate, contents granular. Appressoria 5-8.3 × 3.3-6.7 μm (mean SD = 6.3 ± 0.2 × 5.2 ± 0.2 μm, L/W radio = 1.2, n = 20), medium to dark brown, variable in shape, often smooth-walled, subglobose, ovate to broadly elliptical in outline.
Culture characteristics.
Colonies on MEA, flat, with entire margin, hyaline, 65-72 mm diam. in 7 d. The colonies are round, white, the edges are flat and the aerial hyphae are lush. Myxospores are orange. The colony diameter reached 63-65 mm on PDA. The colonies are round, green-grey, the edges are flat and the aerial hyphae are lush.

Notes.
Phylogenetic analysis of a concatenated five loci dataset indicated that the clade of Colletotrichum juglandicola nested in the clade of C. gloeosporioides species complex and was closely related, but independent to C. citrulli , C. dimorphum , C. gloeosporioides and C. nanhuaensis ( Cannon et al. 2008; Guo et al. 2022; Yu et al. 2022). Colletotrichum citrulli was reported from Citrullus lanatus ( Cucurbitaceae ) in China ( Guo et al. 2022). Morphologically, C. juglandicola differed from C. citrulli by having longer conidia and setae and smaller appressoria (Table 2 View Table 2 ) ( Guo et al. 2022). Colletotrichum dimorphum was reported from Ageratina adenophora ( Asteraceae ) in China ( Guo et al. 2022). Morphologically, C. juglandicola differed from C. dimorphum by having setae, shorter appressoria and longer conidia ( Yu et al. 2022) (Table 2 View Table 2 ). Morphologically, C. juglandicola differed from C. gloeosporioides or C. nanhuaensis by having longer conidia ( Cannon et al. 2008; Guo et al. 2022) (Table 2 View Table 2 ). Colletotrichum nanhuaensis was reported from Ageratina adenophora ( Asteraceae ) in China ( Guo et al. 2022) (Table 2 View Table 2 ). The PHI test (Φw = 1.0) detected no significant recombination between related isolates or species (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ).
