Abstract

Neosetophoma iranianum has so far only been described in its coelomycetous asexual morph. In this study, the sexual morph for this species was recovered for the first time, from dead branches of Lonicera caprifolium, in North Khorasan Province, Iran. The connection between the asexual and sexual morphs of the species was confirmed by phylogenetic analysis based on ITS rDNA sequence data, and morphological traits. The sexual and asexual morphs of N. iranianum are described and illustrated here, and compared with closely related species. A dichotomous key for the identification of all species assigned to the genus Neosetophoma is also provided.
