Abstract

is a genus of plant pathogenic fungi associated with various woody plants. Since has very similar morphological characteristics to the genus , molecular phylogenetic analysis is essential to determine its taxonomic position. In Japan, a comprehensive taxonomic study of the genus has not been conducted. To elucidate the species diversity in Japan, we reexamined Japanese isolates of based on their morphology and molecular phylogenetic relationships, using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions , , and . The Japanese isolates were divided into five clades recognized as the species. These species were , other spp., and three new species proposed in this study, , , and . Furthermore, , which causes shoot blight of larch ( spp.), was transferred to the genus , and we propose its epitype and ex-epitype isolate.
