Based on morphology, the conidia of our fungus are very similar to those of Cy. goaensis (type species). However, the conidia of Cy. coffeae (4–7 × 2–3 µm) are larger than Cy. goaensis (3.5–5 × 2.2–2.6 µm) (Fig. 20, Wanasinghe et al. (2018)). Based on nucleotide comparisons, Cy. coffeae (ZHKUCC 23-0640) is different from Cy. goaensis (MFLUCC 17-0754) by 31 / 485 bp (6.5 %, without gaps) of the ITS, 4 / 850 bp (0.5 %, without gaps) of the LSU, 2 / 1036 bp (0.2 %, without gaps) of the SSU and 25 / 925 bp (2.7 %, without gaps) of the TEF 1 - α. In addition, the PHI test results (Fig. 22 j) revealed no significant recombination relationships between Cy. coffeae and its phylogenetically related taxa. Therefore, the morphological differences and phylogenetic analyses support the introduction of Cy. coffeae as a new species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A5329802AD0550E6BFC3BFD94F135D2F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Helminthosporium chinense and H. nanjingense were only reported as anamorphs from decaying branches of palm trees (Sichuan Province, China) and dead branches of an unidentified tree (Jiangsu Province, China), respectively. Based on nucleotide comparisons, H. puerensis (ZHKUCC 23-0620) is different from H. chinense (CGMCC 3.23570) by 18 / 578 bp (3 %, without gaps) of the ITS, 3 / 749 bp (0.4 %, without gaps) of the LSU, 16 / 780 bp (2 %, without gaps) of the SSU and 8 / 320 bp (2.5 %, without gaps) of the TEF 1 - α.

Helminthosporium chinense and H. nanjingense showed only a small difference in ITS by 7 / 447 (1.6 %, without gaps). Based on BLASTn search results of sequence data, ITS is 97.4 % similar to H. chinense (ON 557754), LSU, SSU and RPB 2 are closely related to H. quercinum, with similarity rates of 97 % (KY 984338), 98.8 % (NG _062196) and 92.5 % (KY 984398), respectively and TEF 1 - α is 94 % (KY 984448) similar to H. microsorum . In terms of morphological characteristics, our species can be distinguished from H. quercinum and H. microsorum by the hyaline ascospores with inconspicuous sheath; H. quercinum and H. microsorum are hyaline to brown ascospores with conspicuous sheath (Voglmayr and Jaklitsch 2017). Our species is most similar to the teleomorph H. massarinum in that it has ellipsoidal and hyaline ascospores (Fig. 12; Tanaka et al. (2015)). In addition, the PHI test results (Fig. 22 f) revealed no significant recombination relationships between H. puerensis and its phylogenetically related taxa. Therefore, the morphological differences and phylogenetic analyses support the introduction of H. puerensis as a new species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/91BBAEBC14E95A8A8846E95E252E2BF2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In the NCBI BLASTn searches, the ITS, LSU, SSU and TEF 1 - α sequences are similar to L. camelliae Ariyaw., I. Tsai &amp; Thambugala, (MT 112301, 98 %), (MT 071278, 90 %), (MT 071229, 99.9 %) and (MT 374091, 97 %), respectively, while RPB 2 is 97 % similar to L. osmanthi Ariyaw., I. Tsai &amp; Thambugala, (MN 915020). Leucaenicola coffeae is the first species with a teleomorph known in Leucaenicola . The teleomorph characteristics of L. coffeae conform to the basic concept of Bambusicolaceae . The anamorph can be distinguished from L. phraeana by the brown and large conidia (5–6 × 2.5–3.5 μm vs. 3–4 × 1.5–2 μm) and distinct guttules (Fig. 2; Jayasiri et al. (2019)). Based on nucleotide comparisons, L. coffeae (ZHKUCC 23-0626) differs from L. phraeana (MFLUCC 18-0472) by 102 / 418 bp (24 %, 3 gaps) in ITS, 80 / 844 bp (9 %, without gaps) in LSU, 2 / 1017 bp (0.2 %, without gaps) in SSU, 16 / 920 bp (1.7 %, without gaps) in TEF 1 - α and 30 / 1036 bp (2.9 %, without gaps) in RPB 2; and differs from L. osmanthi (NTUCC 18-101-3) by 10 / 620 bp (1.6 %, without gaps) in ITS, 78 / 756 bp (10 %, without gaps) in LSU, 2 / 780 bp (0.2 %, without gaps) in SSU, 21 / 816 bp (2.5 %, without gaps) in TEF 1 - α and 26 / 818 bp (3 %, without gaps) in RPB 2. In addition, the PHI test results (Fig. 22 a) revealed no significant recombination relationships between L. coffeae and its phylogenetically related taxa within the dataset. Therefore, we introduce L. coffeae as a new species in Leucaenicola with the first record of a teleomorph associated with the decaying branch of C. arabica .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E306F86CA8F55F0C99AC553C61B33021	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Conidia 10–15 × 3–4 µm (x- = 12 × 3.3 µm, n = 30), solitary, hyaline, oblong to cylindrical with rounded ends, aseptate, mostly straight, surface smooth or rough.</p><p>Culture characteristics.</p><p>Conidia germinating on PDA within 24 h, colonies reached 6 cm in diameter after two months at 25 ° C, filamentous, filiform margin, smooth, flat, with aerial mycelium, from above, brown at the centre, dark brown at the edge, from below, dark brown to black.</p><p>Materials examined.</p><p>China • Yunnan Province, Dali, on a decaying branch of Coffea arabica ( Rubiaceae) (26°09'N, 101°91'E, 1415 m alt.), 25 July 2022, LiLu, DL-C 11 (HKAS 137610, holotype), isotype MHZU 23-0064, ex-type living culture KUNCC 24-18339 = KUNCC 24-18340, ex-isotype living culture ZHKUCC 23-0638 = ZHKUCC 23-0639 .</p><p>Notes.</p><p>In the concatenated phylogenetic analysis, Xenodidymella coffeae shows a close relationship with X. clematidis and X. camporesii D. Pem, Doilom &amp; K. D. Hyde (Fig. 7). Xenodidymella coffeae conforms to the characteristics of Xenodidymella by globose to ampulliform conidiogenous cells and hyaline conidia (Hyde et al. 2020). Xenodidymella coffeae has short ostioles and cylindrical conidia, while X. clematidis has long ostioles with oblong-elliptical or oval conidia (Fig. 6; Phukhamsakda et al. (2020)). Besides, the conidia of our species are larger than those of X. clematidis (10–15 × 3–4 µm vs. 4–8 × 2–5 μm). Xenodidymella camporesii has only been reported based on its teleomorph (Hyde et al. 2020). Based on nucleotide comparisons, X. coffeae (ZHKUCC 23-0638) is different from X. clematidis (MFLUCC 16-1365) by 8 / 482 bp (1.6 %, without gaps) of the ITS, 11 / 786 bp (1.4 %, without gaps) of the LSU; and different from X. camporesii (MFLUCC 17-2309) by 10 / 518 bp (2 %, with one gap) of the ITS, 16 / 890 bp (1.8 %, without gaps) of the LSU and 26 / 282 bp (9 %, without gaps) of the TUB. In addition, the PHI test results (Fig. 22 c) revealed no significant recombination relationships between X. coffeae and its phylogenetically related taxa. This fungus is, therefore, introduced as a new species of Xenodidymella, following the guidelines of Chethana et al. (2021) and Pem et al. (2021).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/84877ED10F98503D88D3B8FDD7CE48E4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
