Notes.
Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was originally described as Vermicularia gloeosporioides and collected from Citrus sp. in Italy. The current name Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was proposed by Penzig (1882). Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is a worldwide fungus that inhabits a wide range of host plants. In our study, 17 strains and three species (i. e., C. citrulli, C. juglandicola and C. peakense) were robustly grouped with C. gloeosporioides, supported by high Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI) confidence values (ML / BI = 88 / 0.90). Zhang et al. (2023 b) reduced C. dimorphum and C. nanhuaense as synonyms of C. gloeosporioides. Further research is needed to confirm the taxonomic status of C. citrulli, C. juglandicola and C. peakense. The morphology of the strains in our study closely resembles the type specimen of C. gloeosporioides, as described by Cannon et al. (2008). Thus, we propose the identification of our strains as C. gloeosporioides, based on both morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses. The result proves that walnut anthracnose has been attributed to C. gloeosporioides (Wang et al. 2020 a; Mu et al. 2021; Yang et al. 2021; Li et al. 2023).
