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 which produces neither microconidia nor capilliconidia. Based on mitochondrial small subunit (mt SSU rDNA), nuclear large ribosomal (nc LSU and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1), we further resolved Neoconidiobolus into three clades, with new taxa being added. They are kunyushanensis sp. nov., lamprauges comb. nanodes nov. We also made morphological comparisons among species in a key is provided.
