Basionym: Ceratobasidium myrtisiae Y.P. Tan , Index of Australian Fungi 41: 3. 2024.

Type citation: ‘ Australia, Queensland, Moura, from root rot of Arachis hypogaea ( Fabaceae ), Feb. 2004, J. R. Tatnell (holotype BRIP 44989a permanently preserved in a metabolically inactive state).’

ITS barcode: PQ061106 ( T).

UNITE 1.5 % SH: n/a.

Notes: A BLAST search of the type accession of R. myrtisiae found that it shares more than 99 % identity with a number of accessions identified as Rhizoctonia / Ceratobasidium AG-Fa in studies such as Gónzalez et al. (2016: GenBank DQ279014 View Materials at 99.20 % identity), Sharon et al. (2008: e.g. GenBank AB219144 View Materials at 99.52 %) and Muzhinji & Lekota (2024: e.g. GenBank JX913819 View Materials at 99.08 %). Thus, R. myrtisiae should be considered the epithet associated with this AG group. See also comments under R. sapphoae .
