Notes.

Thelonectria yunnanica is only known from the type locality. It is phylogenetically related to T. ostrina (Figure 1). However, T. ostrina has a perithecial wall 25-40 μm while those of T. yunnanica are thicker 49-71 μm and have asci that are (56 –)67– 86(−98) × 7-12 μm while those of T. yunnanica are larger, 87-120 × 8.2-9.6 μm . Unlike T. yunnanica, T. ostrina does not forming microconidia in culture (Zeng and Zhuang 2013; Salgado-Salazar et al. 2015).
