Notes: Roberts (1999) listed H. sasakii and A. pendulus under Thanatephorus cucumeris . BLAST results show that the ex-type sequence of Th. pendulus used in this study (GenBank KP171634 View Materials ) is 99–100 % identical with accessions identified as Rhizoctonia AG-1-IA. Rhizoctonia AG-1-IA is considered to be Th. sasakii ( Boidin et al. 1998; Roberts 1999; Gónzalez et al. 2001). Because the basionym for Th. sasakii ( Hypochnus sasakii , 1906) predates the basionym for Th. pendulus ( Aquathanatephorus pendulus , 1978), the epithet sasakii takes priority. A representative sequence for R. sasakii was selected from sequences of Rhizoctonia AG- 1-IA generated by Gónzalez et al. (2001).
