Neomassaria Mapook, Camporesi & K. D. Hyde, Fungal Diversity 80: 74 (2016).

Notes.

Neomassaria was proposed by Hyde et al. (2016) in Massariaceae Nitschke , with N. fabacearum Mapook, Camporesi & K. D. Hyde , as the type species. Later, Ariyawansa et al. (2018) collected a neomassaria-like species ( N. formosana Ariyaw., Jaklitsch & Voglmayr ), which formed a sister group with N. fabacearum and was well-separated from Massaria De Not. species ( Massariaceae ). Therefore, Neomassaria species were transferred to the new family Neomassariaceae ( Ariyawansa et al. 2018; Yang et al. 2022). Neomassaria species comprise only teleomorphs ( Hyde et al. 2016; Ariyawansa et al. 2018; de Silva et al. 2022; Yang et al. 2022). In this study, we introduce a new Neomassaria species with teleomorph, N. coffeae , from an Arabica coffee plant in Yunnan Province, China and this is the first report of Neomassaria from the coffee host.
