Notes.

Cycasicola , typified by Cy. goaensis Wanas., E. B. G. Jones & K. D. Hyde , was introduced by Wanasinghe et al. (2018), based on multi-gene phylogenetic analyses. This genus consists of only two species: Cy. goaensis and Cy. leucaenae Jayasiri, E. B. G. Jones & K. D. Hyde ; both have been reported as saprobic with an anamorph from Cycas sp. in India and Leucaena sp. in Thailand, respectively ( Wanasinghe et al. 2018; Jayasiri et al. 2019). In this study, we provide an updated tree for the family and introduce a new species, Cy. coffeae , from an Arabica coffee plant. This is the first report of Cycasicola from a coffee host.
