It differs from the latter by 29 bp for BenA (93.76 % sequence identity), 16 bp for CaM (97.03 %), and 21 bp for RPB 2 (98.04 %). Morphologically, although both species have short stipes, biseriate conidiophores, and strongly echinulate conidia, the new species is easily distinguished from A. hainanicus by growth on CYA at 37 ° C, vivid green, and smaller conidia (6.0–7.5 vs. 6.0–9.5 µm, Table 4).</p><p>‘ n. a. ’ is the abbreviation of ‘ not available. ’</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/55DC9DF9D07854D29A92AAFA25F05FD1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

For the BenA gene, it differs from A. japonicus by 13 bp (97.27 % sequence identity), from A. uvarum by 16 bp (96.26 %), and from A. indologenus by 14 bp (97.06 %); for the CaM region, it differs from A. japonicus by 20 bp (95.97 %), from A. uvarum by 15 bp (96.98 %), and from A. indologenus by 17 bp (96.72 %); and for the RPB 2 fragment, it differs from A. japonicus by five bp (99.50 %), from A. uvarum by 19 bp (98.19 %), and from A. indologenus by seven bp (99.33 %). Although species of this series are similar in gross morphology, the new species can be easily separated from its sisters by much larger vesicles (Table 4). Additionally, sclerotia were not observed in A. indologenus, while white to cream sclerotia were often produced by A. japonicus, yellow ones in the new species, and dark brown to black ones in A. uvarum (Klich 2002; Samson et al. 2007; Perrone et al. 2008; Varga et al. 2011).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/7BF0D4D454A3526FA181CEFF4E455AB4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
