Pyrispora humilis Ning Jiang 2025, comb. nov.

Pyrispora humilis (L. P. P. Magalhães, N. L. P. Sales & A. C. da Silva) Ning Jiang comb. nov. Basionym. Pseudoplagiostoma humilis L. P. P. Magalhães, N. L. P. Sales & A. C. da Silva Description. See Magalhães et al. (2024). Distribution. Brazil. Ecology. Causing shoot blight and dieback of Anacardium humile. Notes. The genus Pseudoplagiostoma is characterized by producing holoblastic, hyaline to brown, ellipsoid, unicellular, subglobose to broadly allantoid, thick-walled conidia with a prominent hilum. Although Ps. humilis was recently described in this genus based on similar anamorphic characteristics (Magalhães et al. 2024), it differs notably by lacking both thick-walled conidia and a prominent hilum. Furthermore, our phylogenetic analyses robustly support the placement of this species within Pyrispora (Fig. 1). Based on these combined morphological and molecular evidences, we formally propose the transfer of Ps. humilis to Pyrispora.
