RAxML phylogram obtained from the combined ITS (478 bp), gapdh (472 bp) and tef1 (892 bp) sequences of all the accepted species of Bipolaris. The tree was rooted to Curvularia buchloës CBS 246.49 and Curvularia subpapendorfii CBS 656.74. The novel species described in this study are shown in bold. RAxML bootstrap support (BS) values above 70 % and Bayesian posterior probability scores ≥ 0.95 are shown at the nodes. GenBank accession numbers are indicated in Table 1. T, ET, IsoT, IsoLT, IsoPT, LT and NT indicate ex-type, ex-epitype, ex-isotype, ex-isolectotype, ex-isoparatype, ex-lectotype and ex-neotype strains, respectively. TreeBASE: S20877.
