Description.

see Yang et al. (2021).

Materials examined.

China, Anhui Province, Huangshan City, from diseased leaves of C. sinensis cv. Fenglixiang, 2 Jul 2019, Y. C. Wang, culture YCW 499 . Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou City, from diseased leaves of C. sinensis cv. Longjing 43, Jun 2014, Y. C. Wang, culture YCW 1118 .

Notes.

Remotididymella anemophila was clustered into a sister clade to R. bauhiniae (Fig. 4 ), characterised by shorter ascospores, longer asci and larger conidia. It was first isolated from canopy air of Ageratina adenophora (Spreng.) in China ( Yang et al. 2021). In the present study, three strains were isolated from diseased tea plant leaves. This is the first report of R. anemophila causing leaf blight on C. sinensis .

Figure 4. Phylogenetic tree generated by Maximum Likelihood analysis, based on the combined ITS, LSU, RPB 2 and TUB 2 dataset of Neoascochyta, Paraboeremia, Remotididymella and Stagonosporopsis species. Bootstrap support values above 50 % and Bayesian posterior values above 0.75 are shown at each node (ML / PP). Pleiochaeta setosa CBS 118.25 / CBS 496.63 is used as the outgroup. Ex-type strains are emphasised in bold.
