Notes.

This study presents an updated and comprehensive phylogenetic classification of the genus Montagnula , incorporating SSU, LSU, ITS, tef 1-α, and rpb 2 DNA sequence analyses. By combining morphological and phylogenetic considerations, we have identified four new species, M. lijiangensis , M. menglaensis , M. shangrilana and M. thevetiae within the genus. Additionally, this research accounts for the existing species viz., M. aquatica , M. aquilariae , M. chromolaenicola and M. donacina . The note sections of this publication provide detailed information on these taxonomic accounts, including additional discussion and supporting evidence. Each newly identified species adds to the known biodiversity within the genus, expanding our knowledge of the ecological and morphological characteristics exhibited by Montagnula taxa.
