In the present study, we used the same genetic markers to compare an additional set of clinical and environmental isolates, from very diverse countries, morphologically identified as Microascus and Scopulariopsis spp. The ingroups of the concatenated phylogenetic tree resulted in a total of 41 species clades, with the isolates investigated being distributed in four main lineages that corresponded to the genera Microascus, Pithoascus, and Scopulariopsis, and to the novel genus Fuscoannellis, typified by Scopulariopsis carbonaria. The new species Microascus chinensis, Microascus onychoides, Microascus sexualis, Pithoascus lunatus, and Scopulariopsis macurae are proposed and described. Microascus trigonosporus var. terreus and Scopulariopsis alboflavescens are accepted as different from M. trigonosporus and S. brevicaulis, respectively. All the species identified in the study, except Fuscoannellis carbonaria and S. macurae, have been isolated from clinical samples, suggesting their potential role in human disease. Although the use of a four marker combination has demonstrated to be an efficient and reliable approach to infer phylogenetic relationships among the scopulariopsis-like fungi, the only genetic marker able to discriminate all species of the genera above has been EF-1α, being therefore proposed as a secondary barcode for the identification of these fungi.} }
