Neomassaria was introduced as a monotypic genus based on multi-gene phylogeny and morphological characteristics (Ariyawansa et al. 2018). Two Neomassaria species are listed in Index Fungorum (2022), viz. N. fabacearum and N. formosana. In this study, we introduce two new Neomassaria species viz. N. alstoniae and N. thailandica.
Type species: Neomassaria fabacearum Mapook, Camporesi & K.D. Hyde, in Hyde et al., Fungal Diversity 80: 77 (2016).
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Neomassaria.
