Notes.

There are three Neomassaria species documented in Index Fungorum (accession date: May 1, 2022). Type species of N. fabacearum was originally described from Italy ( Hyde et al. 2016). Subsequently, N. formosana , and N. hongheensis were introduced from Taiwan and Yunnan in China, respectively ( Ariyawansa et al. 2018; Yang et al. 2022). The ascospore dimension of N. fabacearum is between those of N. formosana (20-30 × 3-7 μm) and N. hongheensis (14-17 × 4-8 μm) ( Hyde et al. 2016; Ariyawansa et al. 2018; Yang et al. 2022). Phylogenetic analyses of the combined SSU, LSU and tef 1 sequences dataset shows that new collections gather with N. fabacearum (MFLU 16-1875), the type specimen, with the high support (100% ML, 1 BYPP; Fig. 1 ). Morphologically, the features of GMB0314 are consistent with those of N. fabacearum ( Hyde et al. 2016). Neomassaria fabacearum was first introduced to the China.
