The <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides <strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong>Fig. 22. <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> c<strong>or</strong>dylinicola. ICMP 18579 (exMFLUCC 090551 – ex-holotype culture). A. Cultures onPDA, 10 d growth from single conidia, from above andbelow.von Arx (1957), it has continued to be used in the literature f<strong>or</strong>strawberry-associated <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> isolates. It was accepted asdistinct by Sutton (1992), although he noted confusion surroundingapplication of the name. Designation of one of Brook’s cultures(<strong>CBS</strong> 142.31 = IMI 346325) as the epitype of C. fragariae by Buddieet al. (1999) has allowed a modern, genetic basis f<strong>or</strong> this name tobe fixed. The ex-epitype culture of C. fragariae sits in a stronglysupp<strong>or</strong>ted clade containing isolates from a wide range of hostsfrom many parts of the w<strong>or</strong>ld, including the ex-epitype culture of C.theobromicola, an earlier name f<strong>or</strong> C. fragariae in the sense that weaccept these <strong>species</strong> in this paper.There are several <strong>species</strong> from the C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides<strong>complex</strong> which inhabit diseased strawberry plants, and as shownby MacKenzie et al. (2007, 2008) isolates that genetically matchthe epitype of C. fragariae have a wide host range. Despite itsname MacKenzie et al. (2007, 2008) regarded this fungus assimply one of a group of several <strong>species</strong> sometimes found onstrawberry. Our study confirms that members of the C. fragariae/theobromicola clade occur throughout the w<strong>or</strong>ld on a wide range ofhosts. Within the diversity of the C. fragariae/theobromicola clade,there is a subclade consisting of the C. fragariae epitype and twocontemp<strong>or</strong>ary ex-strawberry isolates from the USA (Fig. 1), furtherw<strong>or</strong>k will be needed to establish if the strawberry stolon disease isrestricted to this subclade. Despite regular surveys this disease hasnot been found on strawberries in New Zealand.Xie et al. (2010b) provides a good example of the confusionthat continues to surround the application of <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> namesto isolates from strawberry. These auth<strong>or</strong>s noted that putative C.gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides and C. fragariae isolates were difficult to distinguishusing ITS sequences, the only sequences that they generated.Xie et al. (2010b) found 4 groups of isolates, each with a slightlydifferent ITS sequence, two of those groups they considered tobe C. fragariae and two to be C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides. To classify theirisolates as either C. fragariae of C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides they used arestriction enzyme method based on Martinez-Culebras et al.(2000). Inc<strong>or</strong>p<strong>or</strong>ating their ITS sequences into our ITS alignment,one of their groups genetically matches C. tropicale, one matchesC. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides s. str., one matches C. fructicola, and onematches C. siamense. These relationships are based on ITSsequences only — the genetic differences between some of these<strong>species</strong> are small and are indicative only of possible relationships.However, it is clear that none of the Xie et al. (2010b) sequencesmatch those of the epitype of C. fragariae. There are also several<strong>species</strong> within the C. acutatum <strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong> associated withFragaria (Damm et al. 2012, this issue).Specimen examined: USA, Fl<strong>or</strong>ida, on Fragaria × ananassa, coll. A.N. Brooks, 1931(ex-epitype culture – <strong>CBS</strong> 142.31 = ICMP 17927).* <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> fructicola Prihastuti, L. Cai & K.D. Hyde,Fungal Diversity 39: 158. 2009. Fig. 23.= <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> ignotum E.I. Rojas, S. A. Rehner & Samuels, Mycologia 102:1331. 2010.= Glomerella cingulata var. min<strong>or</strong> Wollenw., Z. Parasitenk. (Berlin) 14: 261.1949.Prihastuti et al. (2009) and Rojas et al. (2010) provide descriptions.Geographic distribution and host range: Originally rep<strong>or</strong>tedfrom coffee berries from Thailand (as C. fructicola) and as aleaf endophyte from several plants in Central America (as C.ignotum), isolates that we accept as C. fructicola are biologicallyand geographically diverse. Known from Coffea from Thailand,Pyrus pyrifolia from Japan, Limonium from Israel, Malus domesticaand Fragaria × ananassa from the USA, Persea americana fromAustralia, Ficus from Germany, Malus domestica from Brazil,Diosc<strong>or</strong>ea from Nigeria, and Theobroma and Tetragastris fromPanama.Genetic identification: ITS sequences do not separate C. fructicolafrom C. aeschynomenes and some C. siamense isolates. Thesetaxa are best distinguished using GS <strong>or</strong> SOD2.Notes: Rojas et al. (2010) noted the occurrence of two distincthaplotype subgroups (A4-3 and A5-4) within their concept of C.ignotum. Our genetic analyses resolve the two clades representativeof these two subgroups. However, together they are monophyleticwithin the Musae clade of the C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides <strong>complex</strong>, and weretain them here as a single <strong>species</strong>. Both clades include isolatesfrom a wide range of hosts from many countries, and both aresimilar in m<strong>or</strong>phology and cultural appearance. The types of bothC. fructicola and C. ignotum are in the same haplotype subgroup.The C. fructicola protologue designates the holotype as MFLU090228, but the culture derived from holotype as “BCC” with nospecimen number. The ex-holotype culture is listed as BDP-I16 inTable 1 of Prihastuti et al. (2009) but this number is not mentionedin the description. Culture BDP-I16 was obtained from the auth<strong>or</strong>s(Prihastuti et al. 2009) f<strong>or</strong> this study and deposited as ICMP 18581.See also notes under G. cingulata var. min<strong>or</strong>.Specimens examined: Australia, Queensland, Bli-Bli, on Persea americana fruitrot, coll.
