Abstract

() is extensively abundant in western China and, as a pioneer tree, and prominently influences local ecology. However, pine forests in this region have been significantly damaged by () infestations, in close association with ophiostomatoid fungi. This study aimed to identify the diversity of ophiostomatoid fungi associated with infesting in western China. A total of 695 ophiostomatoid fungal strains were isolated from 1040 tissue pieces from galleries and 89 adult beetles at four sites. In this study, based on multiloci DNA sequence data, as well as morphological and physiological characteristics, seven species belonging to five genera were identified including three known species, , and , two novel taxa, and , and an unidentified sp. 1. A neotype of . was the dominant taxon (78.99%) in the ophiostomatoid community. This study provides a valuable scientific theoretical basis for the occurrence and management of in the future.
