AB - A fungus similar to the monotypic genus Natarajania, isolated from
dead wood and collected in Thailand, is reported. Analysis of partial ribosomal
LSU and a protein coding gene (RPB2) demonstrated that the new isolate belonged
to Stilbosporaceae, Diaporthales and genetically different from N. indica. It is
unique in producing synnematous conidiophores, smooth-walled conidiogenous
cells and a flared collarette but lacks an elongated collar-canal which is distinct
in the type species. Therefore, sequence data and morphological traits are used to
introduce the new species, Natarajania thailandica.
