Notes.

Helminthosporium was established by Link (1809) and typified by H. velutinum Link ; it is a polyphyletic genus in Massarinaceae of Pleosporales ( Chen et al. 2022) . Members of Helminthosporium mainly occur as anamorphs. Little is known about the teleomorph of Helminthosporium ( Hughes 1953; Subramanian 1987; Tanaka et al. 2015). Herein, we introduce H. puerensis as a new species with a teleomorph from the Arabica coffee plant in Yunnan, China.
