039423416A11FFBBFF20F920FD49BEE9.taxon	materials_examined	Holotype: — BJFC-S 1370. Etymology: — sennae, named after the genus of the host, Senna. Host / Distribution: — from Senna bicapsularis in southern China. Original description: — Sexual morph: undetermined. Asexual morph: Conidiomata pycnidial, circular to ovoid, immersed, scattered, erumpent through the bark surface, with a single locule. Ectostromatic disc brown to dark, one ostiole per disc. Locule undivided, (400 –) 500 – 600 (− 680) μm (av. = 570 μm, n = 20) in diam. Conidiophores reduced to conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells hyaline, phialides, straight or slightly curved. Alpha conidia hyaline, aseptate, smooth, ellipsoidal to oval, usually one guttulate at each end, rarely 3 small guttulate, (5.0 –) 5.5 – 6.3 (− 6.5) × 1.5 – 1.7 (− 1.8) μm (av. = 6.0 × 1.6 μm, n = 50). Beta conidia present on the host, aseptate, hyaline, smooth, straight to hamate, (17.3 –) 18.4 – 20.0 (− 23.3) × 0.9 μm (av. = 19.1 × 0.9 μm, n = 50). Culture characters: — Cultuers incubated on PDA at 25 ° C in darkness, colony originally flat with white felty aerial mycelium, becoming pale brown mycelium due to pigment formation, conidiomata absent. Material examined: — CHINA, Guangxi Province: Nanning city, 21 ° 47 ’ 32.36 ” N, 118 ° 23 ’ 19.37 ” E, 216 m asl, on twigs and branches of Senna bicapsularis, Q. Yang, 7 November 2015 (BJFC-S 1370, holotype; ex-type culture, CFCC 51636). Guangxi Province: Nanning city, 21 ° 47 ’ 32.36 ” N, 118 ° 23 ’ 19.37 ” E, 216 m asl, on twigs and branches of Senna bicapsularis, Q. Yang, 7 November 2015 (BJFC-S 1371, paratype; living culture, CFCC 51637). Notes: — Two isolates of D. sennae cluster in a well-supported clade (MP / ML / BI = 100 / 100 / 1) and appeared closely related to D. pascoei R. G. Shivas, J. Edwards & Y. P. Tan from Persea americana (Fig. 1). However, the new taxon can be distinguished from D. pascoei in longer alpha conidia and shorter beta conidia (alpha conidia: 5.5 – 6.3 μm in D. sennae vs. 4 – 5 μm in D. pascoei; beta conidia: 18.4 – 20.0 μm in D. sennae vs. 19 – 31 μm in D. pascoei) (Tan et al. 2013). This is the first time to discover from infected branches or twigs on Senna bicapsularis and demonstrate it as a new species based on phylogeny and morphology.	en	Yang, Qin, Fan, Xin-Lei, Du, Zhuo, Tian, Cheng-Ming (2017): Diaporthe species occurring on Senna bicapsularis in southern China, with descriptions of two new species.

039423416A10FFB9FF20F8ACFDBEBD09.taxon	materials_examined	Holotype: — BJFC-S 1368. Etymology: — sennicola, named after the genus of the host, Senna. Host / Distribution: — from Senna bicapsularis in southern China. Original description: — Sexual morph: undetermined. Asexual morph: Conidiomata pycnidial, immersed, scattered, slightly erumpent through the bark surface, circular to ovoid, with a single locule. Ectostromatic disc dark brown, nearly flat, ovoid. Locule undivided, (300 –) 345 – 400 (− 435) μm (av. = 390 μm, n = 20) in diam. Conidiophores hyaline, branched, phialidic, straight or slightly curved, tapering towards the apex, (9.0 –) 11.0 – 14.5 (− 16.0) × (0.9 –) 1.1 − 1.4 μm (av. = 12.5 × 1.2 μm, n = 50). Conidiogenous cells hyaline, phialides, straight or slightly curved. Alpha conidia hyaline, aseptate, ellipsoidal, conspicuously biguttulate, (5.6 –) 6.0 – 7.2 (− 7.6) × 2.4 – 3.1 (3.4) μm (av. = 6.7 × 2.8 μm, n = 50). Beta conidia absent. Culture characters: — Cultures incubated on PDA at 25 ° C in darkness, colony originally flat with white felty aerial mycelium, becoming white compact furcate mycelium at the centre and auburn furcate mycelium at the marginal area, with irregular margin, conidiomata sparse, irregularly distributed over agar surface. Material examined: — CHINA, Guangxi Province: Nanning City, 21 ° 47 ’ 31.46 ” N, 118 ° 23 ’ 13.25 ” E, 216 m asl, on twigs and branches of Senna bicapsularis, Q. Yang, 7 November 2015 (BJFC-S 1368, holotype; ex-type culture, CFCC 51634). Guangxi Province: Nanning City, 21 ° 47 ’ 31.46 ” N, 118 ° 23 ’ 13.25 ” E, 216 m asl, on twigs and branches of Senna bicapsularis, Q. Yang, 7 November 2015 (BJFC-S 1369, paratype; living culture, CFCC 51635). Notes: — This new species is introduced as molecular data show it to be distinct clade with high support (MP / ML / BI = 100 / 100 / 1). In the phylogenetic tree (Fig. 1), D. sennicola is mostly related to D. apiculata Y. H. Gao & L. Cai from Camellia sinennsis, D. gardeniae (Buddin & Wakef.) R. R. Gomes, C. Glienke & Crous from Gardenia florida and D. charlesworthii R. G. Shivas, S. M. Thomps. & Y. P. Tan from Rapistrum rugosum (Fig. 1). In morphology, D. sennicola differs from D. apiculata in its narrower conidiophores and shorter alpha conidia (conidiophores: 1.1 − 1.4 μm in D. sennicola vs. 1.5 − 2.5 μm in D. apiculata; alpha conidia: 6.0 – 7.2 μm in D. sennicola vs. 6.5 – 10.0 μm in D. apiculata) (Gao et al. 2016). Diaporthe gardeniae was originally observed in 1894 in England (Cooke 1894) and has since been reported from the USA and India (Preston 1945, Mathur 1979). Gomes et al. (2013) provided DNA data for this species using the strain, CBS 288.56, from Gardenia florida in Italy. But there are no illustrations and detailed descriptions. D. sennicola differs from D. charlesworthii in its shorter conidiophores and alpha conidia (conidiophores: 11.0 − 14.5 μm in D. sennicola vs. 15 − 35 μm in D. charlesworthii; alpha conidia: 6.0 – 7.2 μm in D. sennicola vs. 7 – 9.5 μm in D. charlesworthii) (Thompson et al. 2015).	en	Yang, Qin, Fan, Xin-Lei, Du, Zhuo, Tian, Cheng-Ming (2017): Diaporthe species occurring on Senna bicapsularis in southern China, with descriptions of two new species.
