Two new acremonium-like species, sp. nov. and sp. nov. (Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota) from China.

and , both erected in 2018, currently comprise merely one and three validly published species, respectively. The identification of two new species, and , was achieved by analyzing morphological characteristics and phylogenetic data obtained from four molecular markers (ITS, LSU, , and ). Morphologically, possessed short conidiogenous cells and aseptate and smaller conidia. On the other hand, had obovate conidia and longer phialides. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that formed an independent branch as a sister species to , whereas clustered in a monophyletic clade with a stable topology. The maximum likelihood bootstrap ratio and the Bayesian inference posterior probability provided robust statistical evidence, indicating the presence of two novel species within the genera of and . The present study contributes to the discovery of species diversity in and .
