title: Wongiagen. nov. (Papulosaceae,Sordariomycetes), a new generic name for two root-infecting fungi from Australia.
abstract: The classification of two root-infecting fungi,Magnaporthe garrettiiandM. griffinii, was examined by phylogenetic analysis of multiple gene sequences. This analysis demonstrated thatM. garrettiiandM. griffiniiwere sister species that formed a well-supported separate clade inPapulosaceae(Diaporthomycetidae,Sordariomycetes), which clusters outside of theMagnaporthales.Wongiagen. nov, is established to accommodate these two species which are not closely related to other species classified inMagnaporthenor to other genera, includingNakataea, MagnaporthiopsisandPyricularia, which all now contain other species once classified inMagnaporthe.
