A morphological and molecular survey of Neoconidiobolus reveals a new species and two new combinations

The genus Neoconidiobolus , typified by N. thromboides (Drechsler) B. Huang & Y. Nie, was recently established to accommodate all members of the Conidiobolus subgenus Conidiobolus which produces neither microconidia nor capilliconidia. Based on mitochondrial small subunit (mt SSU rDNA), nuclear...

Description
Summary:The genus Neoconidiobolus , typified by N. thromboides (Drechsler) B. Huang & Y. Nie, was recently established to accommodate all members of the Conidiobolus subgenus Conidiobolus which produces neither microconidia nor capilliconidia. Based on mitochondrial small subunit (mt SSU rDNA), nuclear large ribosomal subunit (nc LSU rDNA), and translation elongation factor 1-alpha ( TEF1 ), we further resolved the genus Neoconidiobolus into three clades, with three new taxa being added. They are N. kunyushanensis B. Huang & Y. Nie, sp. nov., N. lamprauges (Drechsler) B. Huang & Y. Nie, comb. nov., and N. nanodes (Drechsler) B. Huang & Y. Nie, comb. nov. We also made morphological comparisons among species in the three clades, and a key to the species of the genus Neoconidiobolus is provided.
