The <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides <strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong><strong>Colletotrichum</strong> gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides var. nectrioidea Gonz.Frag., Bol. Soc. Brot., 2: 52. 1924.Notes: Originally described from Citrus aurantium from P<strong>or</strong>tugal,the name has not been used since it was described and its geneticrelationship to and within the C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides <strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong>is unknown.<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides “f. sp. <strong>or</strong>theziidae”(Marcelino et al. 2008).Notes: Marcelino et al. (2008) clearly show that the Ortheziapraelonga pathogen belongs in the C. acutatum <strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong>,despite referring to the fungus only as C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides “f. sp.<strong>or</strong>theziidae”. See also notes under C. nymphaeae in Damm et al.(2012a, this issue).<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides “f. sp. pilosae” (Singh1974).Notes: First described from leaves of Bidens pilosa, this name hasnot been used since it was described and its genetic relationshipto and within the C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides <strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong> is unknown.<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides f. stylosanthis Munaut,Mycol. Res. 106: 591. 2002.Notes: Placed here in synonymy with C. theobromicola; see notesunder C. theobromicola.Irwin & Cameron (1978) and Munaut et al. (2002) describeddifferent diseases of Stylosanthes associated with Type A and TypeB isolates of C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides f. stylosanthis, the two groups ofisolates distinguished m<strong>or</strong>phologically by growth rate in culture andby conidial m<strong>or</strong>phology. Compared with Type A, the Type B isolateshad a slower growth rate on PDA, and conidia m<strong>or</strong>e variable in sizeand shape (Irwin & Cameron 1978). They were also distinguishedgenetically using RFLP and similar methods (e.g. Munaut et al.1998, 2002). Munaut et al. (2002) used ITS1 sequences to showthe C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides f. stylosanthis to be related to an isolate theyidentified as C. fragariae. We regard C. fragariae to be a synonymof C. theobromicola, with putatively authentic Type A (HM335, C.gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides f. stylosanthis “f. sp. guianensis”) and Type B (HM336, C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides f. stylosanthis “f. sp. stylosanthis”) isolatesboth also belonging to this <strong>species</strong>. From the ITS1 sequence dataavailable, isolates regarded as typical of Type A (RAPD cluster I)and of Type B (RAPD cluster II) by Munaut et al. (1998) all belongin C. theobromicola in the sense that we are using the name; theirRAPD cluster III isolate could be C. tropicale, and their RAPDcluster IV isolates are probably C. fructicola.The cultures of C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides f. stylosanthis that we usedwere <strong>or</strong>iginally studied by Irwin & Cameron (1978), and selectedas the “types” of “f. sp. guianensis” and “f. sp. stylosanthis” byMunaut et al. (2002). Both isolates have a ‘stale’ growth f<strong>or</strong>m, nolonger f<strong>or</strong>ming conidia in culture and with aerial mycelium closelyappressed to the agar surface, resulting in an almost slimy colonysurface. Both isolates had a slow growth rate, similar to thatrep<strong>or</strong>ted f<strong>or</strong> Type B isolates by Irwin & Cameron (1978). Geneticallyboth isolates were identical f<strong>or</strong> all the genes we sequenced. Thisidentity should be checked against additional isolates, especiallysome matching Type A sensu Irwin & Cameron (1978) with respectto both pathogenicity and growth f<strong>or</strong>m.Sherriff et al. (1994), using ITS2 and partial 28S rDNAsequences, found isolates they considered to represent C.gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides f. stylosanthis Type A and Type B respectively tobe genetically distinct. However, their ITS2 sequences show thatthe putative Type B isolate in their study was in fact a member ofthe C. boninense <strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong>.Specimens examined: Australia, Queensland, Townsville, on Stylosanthes viscosa,coll. J.A.G. Irwin 21365 (HM335), 1976 (ex-holotype culture of C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioidesf. stylosanthis – MUCL 42294 = ICMP 17957 = <strong>CBS</strong> 124251); Samf<strong>or</strong>d, onStylosanthes guianensis, coll.

Mycol. 6: 100. 1891.= Glomerella gossypii Edgerton, Mycologia 1: 119. 1909.Notes: This <strong>species</strong> was <strong>or</strong>iginally described from the USA and wasrep<strong>or</strong>ted to cause disease symptoms on all parts of cotton plants,but especially the bolls (Southw<strong>or</strong>th 1891, Edgerton 1909). Isolatesidentified as C. gossypii by Shear & Wood (1907) were rep<strong>or</strong>tedlyassociated with a Glomerella state in culture, and Edgerton (1909)described Glomerella gossypii from diseased, mature cotton plantsin the USA Edgerton (1909) discussed differences in ascosp<strong>or</strong>eshape between G. gossypii and fruit-rotting isolates of G.cingulata, with G. gossypii having elliptic, not curved ascosp<strong>or</strong>es.Von Arx (1957) considered C. gossypii to be a synonym of C.gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides and von Arx & Müller (1954) regarded G. gossypiito be a synonym of G. cingulata.Modern auth<strong>or</strong>s have recognised two pathogens of cotton, C.gossypii and C. gossypii var. cephalosp<strong>or</strong>ioides. <strong>Colletotrichum</strong>gossypii is rep<strong>or</strong>tedly the cause of cotton anthracnose, a damping-offdisease of cotton seedlings, and C. gossypii var. cephalosp<strong>or</strong>ioidesthe cause of ramulosis, a disease causing abn<strong>or</strong>mal branchingof mature plants (Bailey et al. 1996, Silva-Mann et al. 2005). Ina study based on ITS2 sequences, Bailey et al. (1996) found C.gossypii and C. gossypii var. cephalosp<strong>or</strong>ioides to be geneticallydistinct but with both belonging to the C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides <strong>species</strong><strong>complex</strong>. Silva-Mann et al. (2005) also distinguished the twotaxa genetically, based on an AFLP analysis.
