Cladosporium dimorphospora T. Yokoy.

Cladosporium dimorphospora T. Yokoy., Trans. Brit. Mycol. Soc. 65 (3): 500. 1975. Synonyms. Scytalidium flavobrunneum (J. H. Mill., Giddens & A. A. Foster) Sigler, Mycotaxon 4 (2): 400. 1976. Description and illustration. Yokoyama (1975). Notes. Monochaetia dimorphospora was introduced by Yokoyama (1975). In this study, the ex-type strain (CBS 244.59) of S. flavobrunneum nested in the genus Monochaetia and is closely related to M. dimorphospora (ex-type NBRC 9980) (Fig. 1). Additionally, S. flavobrunneum and M. dimorphospora exhibit minimal morphological and sequence divergence. The ITS - LSU sequence similarities between S. flavobrunneum (CBS 244.59) and M. dimorphospora (NBRC 9980) were 99.9 %. Therefore, we synonymize S. flavobrunneum under M. dimorphospora.
