2B431C664E2F6926FF75F8B9FCD6D43D.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Phylogenetically, this species is a sister group to both C. jinshuiense and Colletotrichum sp. isolate CGMCC 3.15172, but it differs at 9 – 18 positions from reported isolates of these two related species (Table 2). Morphologically, C. paridis produces larger conidia on SNA than those of C. jinshuiense (av. 27.5 × 4.7 vs. 24 × 4 µm) (Lee & Jung 2018). In addition, cultures of C. paridis on PDA show a noticeable pink ring, and have slightly faster mycelial growth rate (5.8 – 6 vs. 3.3 – 5.8 mm / d) (Table 3).	en	Cui, Hua-Wei, Malik, Kamran, Xue, Long-Hai, Wei, Xue-Kai (2024): Colletotrichum paridis sp. nov., a novel endophytic species on Paris polyphylla var. chinensis.
