Triadelphia fusiformis sp. nov. was collected during an investigation of freshwater fungi along a north-south latitudinal gradient in the Asian region. It differs from previously described Triadelphia species in having only one form of fusiform conidia. Phylogenetic analyses based on combined ITS and LSU sequence data indicate that T. fusiformis formed a distinct subclade among the species of Triadelphia. A detailed description and illustration are provided, as well as the comparisons with similar taxa. A checklist of accepted Triadelphia species is provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
