A new species, , isolated from a pupa, is introduced. Morphological comparisons and phylogenetic analyses based on multigene datasets (ITS+RPB1+RPB2+TEF) support the establishment of the new species. is distinguished from by its longer conidiogenous pegs located in the terminal or lateral conidiophores, and smaller subglobose or ellipsoidal conidia. A combined dataset of RPB1, RPB2, and TEF confirmed the taxonomic placement of in Cordycipitaceae for the first time.

The species complex (FLSC) currently comprises 11 phylogenetic species, including accepted names such as , , and , which have mostly been reported in association with citrus and coffee. Many varieties were documented by Wollenweber & Reinking (1935), which is indicative of a wider diversity of species within this group. The lack of type material in some cases, especially for the older names, means that definition by molecular phylogeny is very difficult.

species have commonly been reported as important plant pathogenic fungi with wide host ranges and geographic distributions. With the increase in the number of cryptic species being described, a comprehensive global taxonomic revision of the genus is required. The present study includes 399 isolates from 32 countries.

Article Synopsis
  • Koima is a newly identified genus of nemacheilid loach that includes two species: Mesonoemacheilus remadevii and Nemacheilus monilis, both found in India’s Western Ghats.
  • This genus is characterized by its distinct yellowish-brown color, unique black spot patterns, transparent fins, and absence of uniform dorsal banding, setting it apart from other genera in the family Nemacheilidae.
  • Phylogenetic analysis shows that Koima remadevii and K. monilis form a monophyletic group, enhancing the understanding of the evolutionary relationships within the Nemacheilidae family, previously thought to be polyphyletic.

In the rice agroecosystems of Southeast Asia, rice root knot nematode (Meloidogyne graminicola) significantly impairs yield, representing a major species within the 'graminis-group' known for its morphological similarities with other root knot nematodes (RKNs). This study delves into the variations in reproductive potential, morphology, morphometrics, and genetic diversity among thirty RKN populations in rice across three distinct agroecological zones in Jharkhand, India. Despite notable differences in reproductive potential among the populations, morphological and morphometric correlations to reproductive potential were inconclusive.
