Arthrobotrys scaphoides from China and Europe with a phylogenetic analysis including the type strain

Arthrobotrys scaphoides is recorded for the first time from China. The strain is compared with European strains (including the type strain) morphological and molecular methods. The species is illustrated by photographs and line drawings. ITS sequence phylogenetic analysis places three A. scaphoides strains in the same monophyletic group with A. conoides, a species strongly different in morphology.
