Using a global set of isolates and a phylogenetic approach employing DNA sequence data from five genes (β-tubulin, histone H3, internal transcribed spacer region, 28S large subunit region and translation elongation factor 1-α), the taxonomic status of the genus Gliocladiopsis (Glionectria) (Hypocreales, Nectriaceae) was re-evaluated. Gliocladiopsis sagariensis is reinstated as type species for the genus, which proved to be distinct from its former synonym, G. tenuis. The purported teleomorph state of G. tenuis, Glionectria tenuis, is shown to be distinct based on morphological comparisons supported by phylogenetic inference, and is provided with a new name, Gliocladiopsis pseudotenuis. A further four species, mostly isolated from soil, are newly described, namely G. curvata (New Zealand, Ecuador and Indonesia), G. elghollii (USA), G. indonesiensis (Indonesia) and G. mexicana (Mexico). Although species of Gliocladiopsis are frequently isolated from roots of diseased plants or plant litter in soil, little is presently known of their ecology, or potential role as plant pathogens.
利用全球范围内的分离株，并采用基于 5 个基因（β-微管蛋白、组蛋白 H3、内部转录间隔区、28S 大亚基区和翻译延伸因子 1-α）的 DNA 序列数据的系统发育方法，重新评估了Gliocladiopsis（Glionectria）属（Hypocreales，Nectriaceae）的分类地位。Gliocladiopsis sagariensis 被重新确立为该属的模式种，它与以前的同义词 G. tenuis 明显不同。据称 G. tenuis 的有性型状态，Glionectria tenuis，根据形态比较和系统发育推断得到支持，被证明是不同的，并提供了一个新名称 Gliocladiopsis pseudotenuis。另外四个主要从土壤中分离的物种，即 G. curvata（新西兰、厄瓜多尔和印度尼西亚）、G. elghollii（美国）、G. indonesiensis（印度尼西亚）和 G. mexicana（墨西哥），也被新描述。尽管 Gliocladiopsis 种经常从患病植物的根部或土壤中的植物残体中分离出来，但目前对它们的生态学或作为植物病原体的潜在作用知之甚少。
