Abstract

Two new endophytic species,Colletotrichumjishouensesp. nov.and.C.tongrenensesp. nov.were isolated fromNothapodytespittosporoidesin Guizhou and Hunan provinces, China. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of these new taxa are provided and morphological comparisons with similar taxa are explored. Phylogenetic analysis with combined sequence data (ITS, GAPDH, ACT and TUB2) demonstrated that both species formed distinct clades in this genus. This is the first record ofColletotrichumspecies fromN.pittosporoidesin China.
