A new species, Natarajania thailandica, isolated from dead wood in Thailand, belongs to the Stilbosporaceae family and is genetically distinct from N. indica. It is unique in its production of synnematous conidiophores, smooth-walled conidiogenous cells, and a flared collarette, lacking an elongated collar-canal present in the type species.
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.
