Phylogenetically, O. globiperitheciata forms a separate clade from other Ophiocordyceps species in the H. thompsonii subclade with moderate bootstrap support (Fig. 1). It is closed to H. cryptosclerotium Fern. et al. and O. communis Hywel-Jones &amp; Samson. However, it differs from H. cryptosclerotium in parasitizing Blattodea ( H. cryptosclerotium parasitic on Hemiptera), producing multiple clavate stromata ( H. cryptosclerotium stroma absence). Ophiocordyceps globiperitheciata is distinguished from O. communis by multiple and thicker stromata, shorter asci of 135-170 µm (215-250 µm for O. communis) and ascospores of 85-110 µm (100-180 µm for O. communis) (Table 3).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/825A1CAC16CC5671BD8C95405C4B9186	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Phylogenetically, all specimens of O. longistipes are clustered in the H. thompsonii subclade of Hirsutella lineages and form a monophyletic clade, which is placed sister to O. fusiformis with maximum support (Fig. 1). However, O. longistipes exhibits significant morphological differences from O. fusiformis in its both teleomorph and anamorph. For the teleomorph, O. longistipes produce longer stromata of 17-24 cm (up to 6 cm long for O. fusiformis), larger perithecia of 390-420 × 295-350 µm (300-360 × 180-270 µm for O. fusiformis). For the anamorph, O. longistipes possess both monophialidic and polyphialidic conidiogenous cells, but O. fusiformis is only monophialidic. Moreover, O. longistipes produces oval conidia, while O. fusiformis produces narrower fusiform conidia (Table 3).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CBABB7890E5954608EFB97C7F203A012	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
