Abstract
A new nectrioid fungus with its sporodochial Cylindrocarpon anamorph, collected on dead bark of Luchu pines (Pinus luchuensis) in the southern part of Japan (Kagoshima and Okinawa), having perithecia slightly constricted just below the papilla and conidia with a strongly hooked and acute apical cell, belongs to the genus Neonectria according to the recent concept of the Nectriaceae (Hypocreales). Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on the tub2 region of β-tubulin genes also supports the morphological consideration. This fungus is described as Neonectria amamiensis (anamorph: Cylindrocarpon amamiense).
