Abstract
A new hyphomycete genus and species, Neoveronaea sinensis, is described from Jiangxi Province, southern China. Neoveronaea is characterized by its macronematous conidiophores, and euseptate, obovoid to ellipsoidal, pale brown, smooth conidia. Phylogenetic analyses of partial
DNA sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and nuclear ribosomal large subunit (LSU), using Maximum-Likelihood and Bayesian Inference, reveal the taxonomic placement of Neoveronaea within the Herpotrichiellaceae, in which it forms a lineage distinct from other genera.
