Notes.

Neosetophoma was introduced by de Gruyter et al. (2010), typified by N. samararum (Desm.) Gruyter, Aveskamp. & Verkley. Species of Neosetophoma are characterized by globose to irregular conidiomata, with papillate ostioles, and yellowish conidia that are attenuate at one end ( De Gruyter et al. 2010; Liu et al. 2015). Tibpromma et al. (2017) introduced Neosetophoma garethjonesii Tibpromma, E.B.G. Jones & K.D. Hyde as the first report of the sexual morph of Neosetophoma . Neosetophoma species have a diverse distribution as saprobes, endophytes, plant pathogens and soil fungi ( Phookamsak et al. 2014; Hernandez-Restrepo et al. 2016; Karunarathna et al. 2017; Tibpromma et al. 2017; Wanasinghe et al. 2018). Currently, 19 Neosetophoma species are accepted in Index Fungorum (2020). In this study, we found Neosetophoma poaceicola Goonas., Thambug. & K.D. Hyde from dead leaves of Musa acuminata Colla in Taiwan. This is the first Neosetophoma species recorded from the plant family Musaceae .
