abstract = {Neotyphodium endophytes are asexual clavicipitaceous fungi that commonly infect cool-season C3 grasses. In genus Neotyphodium, 17 species and 5 varieties have been described. In this study we describe a new Neotyphodium species, Neotyphodium sinica found in natural symbiosis with asymptomatic Roegneria spp. (Elymus spp.) native to China. We investigated the host specificity, morphology, mating compatibility and molecular phylogenetic evidences of this new species. N. sinica is host specific and seedborne, and widely distribute in China. Most morphological characteristics of this new species are typical in Neotyphodium genus, but the growth rate of N. sinica on PDA plates tends to be more rapid. The 3/5 N. sinica strains had double alleles of tefA and 2/5 strains have double alleles of tubB and tefA. Phylogenetic relationships based on sequences of tubB introns and tefA introns revealed that the allele-1 of tefA and tubB clustered together in a distinct sub-clade in E. bromicola/E. yangzii clade. The allele-2 was in ETC. N. sinica should be an interspecific hybrid which had relationship with both E. yangzii and ETC. In mating tests, N. sinica failed to hybridize with E. yangzii. Referring to major area of their distribution, we propose ??Neotyphodium sinica Z. Wang, Y. Ji et Y. Kang, sp. nov.?? for this new species.}
