Notes. Thelonectria discophora is the type species of the genus Thelonectria . Many specimens identified as this species were determined to be species complex until Salgado-Salazar et al. (2015) separated them into at least 16 taxa, based on phylogenetic analyses of six nuclear loci and morphological evidences.
