Notes: Neofusicoccum italicum was distinguished from N. algeriense by its slightly smaller conidia (Marin-Felix et al. 2017). However, with more taxa or isolates added, conidia dimensions have become a poor character in species delineation, and this is also verified with N. parvum and N. sinoeucalypti. The tef1 sequence of N. italicum is 100 % (220/220) similar to N. algeriense. Similarly, there are two gap differences in ITS region (508/510) between N. algeriense and N. italicum. Other sequences of N. italicum are unavailable for comparison. Based on ITS and tef sequence data, N. italicum is reduced to a synonym of N. algeriense.
