The objectives of this study were to report species associated with (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) collected from citrus leaves from an agroecological polyculture in Brazil, assess sexual reproductive mode of the species with unknown sexual stages, and provide an augmented description of , for which we discovered a sexual stage. Nineteen isolates were recovered from . These fungi belong to three species complexes, i.e., the species complex (FCSC), the species complex (FFSC), and the species complex (FIESC). Based on multilocus phylogenetic analyses, the species were identified as , and . Our results suggest that three species whose sexual stages are unknown (, and ) are also heterothallic. Intraspecific crosses of and produced protoperithecia, whereas 66.7% of crosses produced fertile perithecia. We provide an augmented description of the latter species to include characteristics of its sexual morph and those observed in the asexual morph that had not yet been described for the species. This study highlights the potential of researching insect-associated fungi to increase knowledge about the diversity, taxonomy, and versatility of in ecosystems.

Background And Objective: Management of a long proximal ureteral stricture is challenging. Buccal mucosal graft (BMG) ureteroplasty is a reliable technique for ureteral reconstruction that avoids the morbidity of bowel interposition or autotransplantation. We compared open and robotic BMG ureteroplasty in a two-center study.
