Morphologically, Pes. jiangmenensis can be distinguished from Pes. pyrrosiae-linguae and Pes. spatholobi by its shorter, but more numerous apical appendages ( Pes. jiangmenensis: 5.5–24 μm, n = 2–4; Pes. pyrrosiae-linguae: 9–25 μm, n = 2–3; Pes. spatholobi: 8.4–15.3 μm, n = 1–3).

In this study, eight strains were isolated from P. massoniana and clustered together with Pes. lushanensis in the multi-locus phylogenetic tree (Fig. 3). Compared with the description of ex-type isolate CGMCC 3.18160 (Liu et al. 2017), ZXD 969 has shorter apical appendages (7.5–22.5 μm vs. 17–26 μm), while other morphological characteristics are similar. The Pes. lushanensis isolates identified in this study were exclusively isolated from P. massoniana . Notably, this fungal species has also been previously documented on various other pine hosts, including P. armandii, P. elliottii, P. tabuliformis and P. yunnanensis (Jiang et al. 2022 a) .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/ED0EAEAE85595CE9945C354F83391E1D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The phylogenetic differentiation between these two species was supported by nucleotide variations in ITS (3 bp), tub 2 (3 bp) and tef 1 - α (1 bp). Morphologically, Pes. wenzhouensis can be distinguished from Pes. abietis by its larger conidia ( Pes. wenzhouensis: 20–27.5 × 7–8 μm vs. Pes. abietis: 19.9–31.2 × 5.8–8 μm). Furthermore, Pes. wenzhouensis exhibits more and longer apical appendages ( Pes. wenzhouensis: 7–19.5 μm, n = 2–4; Pes. abietis: 2.4–6 μm, n = 1–3) and basal appendage ( Pes. wenzhouensis: 2.5–6 μm vs. Pes. abietis: 1.3–5.2 μm). Based on both phylogenetic and morphological evidence, we propose the recognition of Pes. wenzhouensis as a novel species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/982D6A23660150B99BDABB6C239EA353	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
