Abstract: Sinodiscula camellicola S. Y. Zhao, M. J. Guo & C. L. Hou, Journal of Fungi 10 (2, no. 141): 9 (2024) ≡ Melanconiella camelliae T. C. Mu & Jun Z. Qiu, Front. Microbiol. 14 (1229705): 6 (2023). MycoBank No: 848667. Description. Descriptions and illustrations refer to Mu et al. (2023) and Guo et al. (2024). Notes. In the present analysis, Melanconiella camelliae formed a well-supported clade with Sinodiscula camellicola. Detailed morphological comparison reveals that these two species are similar with no notable differences. Both species were isolated as pathogens from Camellia sinensis, from Fujian Province (China) for Melanconiella camelliae and from Anhui Province (China) for Sinodiscula camellicola (Guo et al. 2024). Moreover, the ITS sequences of Melanconiella camelliae and Sinodiscula camellicola differ by only 1 %. Due to these similarities in morphology, ecology and molecular data of the two species, we propose to synonymize M. camelliae and S. camellicola under Sinodiscula (Melanconiellaceae).
