According to Wilson (1992), biological diversity (biodiversity) encompasses a variety of life forms occurring in nature, from the ecosystem to the genetic level, as a result of evolutionary history. After Rio de Janeiro Convention on Biodiversity (CBD- 1992), exploration of biodiversity became more important than ever to know the cause of rapid depletion of biodiversity, their conservation management and to study the effects of climate change. In addition to this, an updated list of biodiversity (plants/animal/microbes) of a particular region helps to prevent bio-piracy and knowledge of indigenous taxa help for future prospection. Also, the accurate and authentic systematic characterization and identification of fungi especially plant pathogenic fungi like Corynespora is extremely important and helpful in applied research as well as the formulation of quarantine policies and hence have an immense impact on trade and global biosecurity. Equally, documentation and updated list of organism diversity along with their study details are also vital for further basic and applied research.
Among biodiversity, fungi are unique, cryptic, understudied and one of the most fascinating groups of organisms with their own kingdom, distributed widely in different ecosystems. They are ubiquitous, monophyletic and morphologically, ecologically, metabolically, and a phylogenetically hyperdiverse group of organisms. Its enormous diversity is estimated to range from 1.5 to more than 5.1 million species (Hawksworth 1991, 2001, Blackwell 2011), while globally accepted estimation is 2.2 to 3.8 million species (Hawksworth & Lücking 2017. Currently, 144, 000 species have so far been documented (Cannon et al. 2018), distributed from the tropics to alpine areas, from Europe to Antarctica. Continentally, most of fungal species were described from Asia (41%), followed by Europe (23%), North America (10%), South America (9.5%), Africa (9%), Oceania (7%), and Antarctica (0.5%) (Niskanen et al. 2018). Fungi act as both friend and foe. They play an essential role in ecological systems in terms of global chemical cycling, decomposition, nutrient acquisition in symbiosis, pathogenicity (Martin et al. 2011, Taylor et al. 2012) as well as has significant biotechnological, medicinal and industrial importance (Strobel et al. 2003, Hyde et al. 2019). Fungi cause damage worthy of many million dollars each year through food spoilage, destruction of materials used by humans, and diseases of plants and animals. Among diverse form of fungi, Corynespora is one of the significant mycobiota.
The distoseptosporic dematiaceous hyphomycete genus Corynespora (Ascomycota, Dothideomycetes, Pleosporales, Corynesporacaceae), was established by Güssow (1906). Güssow proposed a new genus Corynespora to accommodate previously known Cercospora melonis (Cook 1896) based on the formation of conidia in chains and connecting hyaline isthmus between conidiophore and conidium. This species was re-named as C. mazei, in the honour of Professor Maize, who was studying the same disease in France, by ignoring the earlier epithet proposed by Cooke. Later, Lindau (1910) treated these two species as one under the name Corynespora melonis (Cooke) Lindau.
It was observed in the late autumn of every year, the cow peas [Vigna unguiculata (= Vigna sinensis L.] Walp. growing in the valley of Yangtze River, China was attacked by a serious disease caused by a fungus which produces a large slender and pale olivaceous brown conidia with thick exospores. The same fungus was later observed on soyabean [Glycine max (L.) Merr] and identified by Tai (1936) and also by Teng (1939) as Cercospora vignicola Kawamura (1931), firstly described on cowpea in Japan, and later identified as Helminthosporium vignae by Liu (1948). Olive et al. (1945), described the same fungus on cowpea and soyabean in USA. Finally, Wei (1950) re-investigated and synonymized the earlier reported Cercospora vignicola Kawamura (1931) and Helminthosporium cassiicola Berkeley & Curtis (1868) into Corynespora cassiicola.
Corynespora is characterized by monotretic, terminal conidiogenous cells which undergo percurrent enteroblastic proliferation. Conidiogenous loci are apical, slightly depressed, somewhat melanized around the pore to produce solitary or catenate, multi-distoseptate, obclavate, cylindrical, obovate, oval to irregular, smooth-walled or verruculose, pale brown to pale olivaceous brown conidia, usually with a slightly melanized basal scar. Corynespora is associated with the teleomorphic genera Chaetosphaerulina I. Hino, Corynesporasca Sivan., Pleomassaria Speg. and Pyrenophora Fr. (Seifert et al. 2011).
A brief comparative account of Corynespora like taxa (viz., Bipolaris, Corynecercospora, Corynesporella, Corynesporina, Corynesporopsis, Ellisembia, Exosporium, Helminthosporium, Hemicorynespora, Mesocorynespora, Morganjonesia, Solicorynespora, Sporidesmium) are provided in this communication. Morphologically, the distoseptate conidial nature of Corynespora shows close resemblance to Ellisembia Subramanian (1992) and Sporidesmium Link (1809) but differ in having monotretic conidiogenesis compared to polytretic conidiogenesis in Ellisembia and Sporidesmium (Shenoy et al. 2006). Corynespora appears most similar to Exosporium Link (1809), but later has polytritic conidial ontogeny and conidia with thickened scars. Corynespora is phenotypically analogous to Bipolaris Shoemaker (1959) but can be easily differentiated from Bipolaris in culture media. Corynespora germinates from one pole while Bipolaris germinates from both poles. Bipolaris shows pathogenic behavior mostly restricted to the members of family Poaceae while Corynespora shows both pathogenic as well as saprobic nature. Another close relative is Corynesporella Munjal & Gill (1961) but differs in having branched conidiophores near the apex. Phenotypically, Corynespora is analogous to Helminthosporium Link (1809). In Helminthosporium, the structure of the conidiogenous loci is reminiscent of pores and has terminal and intercalary, polytretic conidiogenous cells (Ellis 1971, Seifert et al. 2011). Corynesporopsis Kirk (1981) was previously placed in Corynespora Güssow, with type species Corynesporopsis quercicola (Borowska) Kirk. As remarked by author, the genus Corynesporopsis is primarily characterized by the terminal, determinate or rarely with enteroblastic percurrent proliferations, monotretic conidiogenous cells and cylindrical to ellipsoid, euseptate, catenate conidia. Corynesporopsis and Corynespora are closely similar to one another based on conidium ontogeny (monotretic, determinate or sometimes doliiform to precurrent), but differs due to formation of euseptate conidia in the former taxon.
Solicorynespora Castañeda-Ruiz & Kendrick (1990) can be easily distinguished by the presence of enterogenous, monotretic, sometimes with doliiform percurrently proliferating conidiogenous cells, which produce solitary, multi-euseptate, brown to dark brown conidia. Hemicorynespora Ellis (1972) has monotretic conidiogenous cells but produces 0- to 1-euseptate conidia. Corynecercospora Pal et al. (2006) is phenologically looks similar to Corynespora but possess hyphopodia like structure and polytretic pore-like scars in conidiophores and conidia. Corynesporina Subram. (in Gams et al. 2009) is another possible close relative of Corynespora but easily distinguished due to conidial morphology and ontogeny.
Morganjonesia Castañeda-Ruiz et al. (in Zhang et al. 2019), can be easily differentiated from Corynespora due to its euseptate conidia with an acute or subulate, hyaline apical or downwardly direct conidial appendage.
Mesocorynespora Ma, Zhang & Castañeda (in Xu et al. 2020) shows somewhat similarity with Corynespora in context to conidiogenesis, but Mesocorynespora differs to Corynespora in having clavate, determinate conidiogenous cells formed from short, clavate, unbranched conidiophores and euseptate conidia.
Corynespora is cosmopolitan, distributed mostly in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Species of Corynespora can colonize diverse niches and vary in existence from phytopathogens (C. pseudocassiicola Crous & Wingfield (in Crous et al. 2018a) to human pathogens (C. cassiicola, Lv et al. 2011), endophytes (C. cassiicola, Suryanarayanan et al. 2002), saprobes (C. ripogoni, McKenzie 2010 & C. lignicola Luo et al. (in Hyde et al. 2020), and lichenicolous (C. thorii, Zhurbenko et al. 2015) species. The pathogenic Corynespora is mostly reported as necrotrophs. The species of Corynespora (C. parvispora) is also reported from mangroves (Subramanian 1992, 1994). Many secondary metabolites obtained from species of Corynespora (Paranagama et al. 2007, Ebrahim et al. 2012, 2013) shows various biological activities.
Members of Corynespora have been reported to cause serious disease to the many agricultural crops like Target spot of tomato (Schlub et al. 2009, MacKenzie 2018) and cotton (Jones 1961). This pathogen is most economically significant to the rubber crop in Asia and Africa causing Corynespora leaf fall (CLF), which produce railway track shaped leaf lesions (Déon et al. 2014). The Cassiolinein, a host-selective toxin (HST) produced by the fungus C. cassiicola (strain CCP) is found to be responsible for the Corynespora leaf fall (CLF) disease.
For accessing identification of additional novel species based on morphological features, Siboe et al. (1999) provided a synoptic table of the main morphological features that distinguish 50 accepted species of Corynespora (McKenzie 2010). Many new species added by different workers throughout the globe. To date, 207 nomenclatural records of Corynespora were found (wwww.indexfungorum.org, accessed on 26.04.2020). From the descriptions and drawings, most of the species appear to be very similar to the common cosmopolitan species, C. cassiicola (Berkeley & M.A. Curtis) C.T. Wei. McKenzie (2010) distinguished that the distoseptate, solitary or catenate conidia that are borne through a slightly depressed and evident apical pore of the monotretic conidiogenous cell are distinctive characters of C. cassiicola (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) C.T. Wei, the most common species of Corynespora.
Corynespora cassiicola, a phytopathogenic species which is morphologically and phylogenetically highly diverse has a wide range of 530 host species from 380 plant genera, including monocots, dicots, ferns, and one cycad, within tropical and subtropical (Dixon et al. 2009, Romruensukharom et al. 2005, Smith 2008) and rarely in temperate regions (Castañeda-Ruiz et al. 1990). This fungus found on leaves, stems, flowers, fruits or roots of more than 300 plant species (Farr & Rossman 2020). Corynespora cassiicola is reported to be nonhost specific pathogen (Ellis & Holliday 1971), whereas in some cases C. cassiicola is host-specific (Miller & Alfieri 1973, Toshiko et al. 2008, Dixon et al. 2009). Besides foliar disease, C. cassiicola also reported to cause fruit, stem, and root diseases (Jones et al. 1991, Raffel et al. 1999). In addition to being a plant pathogen, it is reported from sponges (Zhao et al. 2015). Corynespora cassiicola also reported as a human pathogen that causes phaeohyphomycosis (Lv et al. 2011) and other diseases (Yamada et al. 2013, Yan et al. 2016). Furthermore, it has been isolated from nematode cysts (Carris & Glawe 1986). Also, it has been reported as an endophyte or saprophyte (Collado et al. 1999, Cai et al. 2006, Gond et al. 2007, Promputtha et al. 2007, Suryanarayanan et al. 2002, Kingsland 1985, Hyde et al. 2001, Lee et al. 2004, Lumyong et al. 2003).
The anamorphic mycotaxon Corynespora has not been critically explored and studied; several of them likely belong to Helminthosporium. Most of the species of Corynespora taxonomically described based on morphological characters. The criteria used for species delimitation are primarily based on conidial features such as size, shape, septation, ornamentation and pigmentation. Most of the reported morpho species show more or less similarity with C. cassiicola, the type species and common species. Though, from the phylogenetic (molecular) point of view, Corynespora has not been resolved completely. So far, six species of Corynespora have been added to the global mycoflora based on molecular phylogeny (Crous et al. 2018a, b, Hyde et al. 2020).
Understanding and stabilizing the robust, accurate and authentic taxonomy of Corynespora, of which most of them are plant pathogens have an impact on agriculture, horticulture and forestry; their taxonomic knowledge is essential and significant. As we know fungal taxonomy is not stable. Most of the minor alterations in generic delimitation change taxonomic names and relationships. Previously, most of the fungi names were established solely based on the visible morphological characteristics (phenotype) of the organism. The phenological or morphological conceptualization based identification of fungi is not sufficient and no longer work because all the names based only on morphology recombined to other taxa based on the development of new criteria. This frequent transfer of names from one taxon to another taxon may cause great confusion and affect the validity of different queries. For that reason, to manage this process of continuous names change we necessitate to bring up to the nature of ontological structures (where names in taxonomy are vital and valuable) that related to the descriptive datasets of the universe in an integrated way, which were extracted and managed from several databases and literature. The integration of DNA data is also needed to ensure the stability in names and reliable species detection. Hence, it is mandatory and urgent to do re-examination of deposited type specimens and their molecular phylogenetic analysis to get a systematic clear cut diversity of Corynespora and to uphold the utility and information content of a current name.
The objective of the current communication is to overview the mitosporic micomycete Corynespora in relationship to their worldwide updated diversity, geographical distribution, current accepted name, and distinguish features of species along with their host/substrate and family in the context of current taxonomic nomenclature.

This present compiled up to date checklist of Corynespora is the output of extensive bibliographic survey of the literature published by various mycologists and mycopathologists from all over the world in various national and international journals, monographs, books, and book chapters until April 26, 2020. Some Corynespora species names which reported in the cited publications have been replaced with their currently accepted names according to Index Fungorum (www.indexfungorum.org), verified by Species Fungorum 2020. In some cases, the USDA fungal database (https://nt.ars-grin.gov/fungaldatabases/) of Farr & Rossman (2020) has been used in order to gather information on the host-fungus association and geographic distribution of Corynespora. The checklist arranged as Corynespora species names with their synonyms or basionyms, host scientific names with family or substrate, holotype numbers, distribution and literature cited. In some cases, the type numbers are missing therefore written as not specified. Similarly, in some species, the host/substrate and family name and distribution was also missing due to unavailability in the literature, therefore written as not specified. The host name and family given in the original citation is sometimes changed to maintain the consistency with current taxonomy based on 'The plants of the world online (www.theplantsoftheworldonle.org), and The Plant List (http://www.theplantlist.org). In the given checklist, the taxa name written in 'bold' without stars have designated as valid species as per rule of nomenclature, while the taxa name written in 'non bold' with stars found to be transferred to other taxa (*), Corynespora taxa (**) and invalid taxa (***).
In order to quickly access global diversity and distributional records of all Corynespora spp. through this paper, an updated list of Corynespora spp. in the form of a table is provided along with conidial size and septation, host/substrate, host's/substrate's family, distribution (place & country), current status, and references (List 1, Table 1). Similarly, habitat wise (Table 2), kingdom wise (Table 3), clade wise (Table 4), host's family/substrate's family wise (Table 5), country wise (Table 6), current status wise (Table 7), and distributional lists are also provided along with their respective pie and bar diagrams (Figs 1-6). Additionally, in order to avoid the confusions, a list of valid Corynespora spp., Corynespora spp. transferred to other taxa and invalid taxa are also provided (Table 8). Likewise, conidiophores and conidial features viz. size and septation of currently accepted valid Corynespora spp. are also provided (Table 9).

Likewise, out of 207 records, 166 spp. (80.19%) have been recorded on 54 families of dicots, 18 spp. (8.69%) on 6 families of monocots, 1 sp. (0.48%) on one family of gymnosperm and 22 spp. (10.62%) on unidentified plant parts/taxa (Table 4, Fig. 3). Among them, the maximum Corynespora species recorded on Fabaceae (17spp.), followed by Lamiaceae (11 spp.) and Malvaceae (10spp.) (Table 5, Fig. 4).
As a result of critical review, Corynespora spp. have been recorded from different countries, among which species richness found maximum in India (80 spp., 38.64%) followed by China (31 spp., 14.97%), USA (11spp., 5.31%), Japan (8spp., 3.86%), Cuba (7spp., 3.38%), England (7spp., 3.38%), Serra Leone (7spp., 3.38%), Nepal (6spp., 2.89%), Australia (5spp., 2.41%), Brazil (5spp., 2.41%), Singapore (5spp., 2.41%), Sri Lanka (4spp., 1.93%), Indonesia (3spp., 1.93%), South Africa (3spp., 1.93%), Malaysia (2spp., 0.96%), Mexico (2spp., 0.96%), Philippines (2spp., 0.96%), Taiwan (2spp., 0.96%), Thailand (2spp., 0.96%), Argentina (1sp., 0.48%), Brunei Darussalam (1sp., 0.48%), Chile (1sp., 0.48%), Costa Rica (1sp., 0.48%), Czech Republic (1sp., 0.48%), Ghana (1sp., 0.48%), Guyana (1sp., 0.48%), Kenya (1sp., 0.48%), Malawi (1sp., 0.48%), Netherlands (1sp., 0.48%) New Zealand (1sp., 0.48%), Paraguay (1sp., 0.48%), Poland (1sp., 0.48%), Uganda (1sp., 0.48%) and Zambia (1sp., 0.48%) (Table 6, Fig. 5).
To know and understand more about the diversity, host range and word-wide distribution of Corynespora, further research need to be carried out from all over the world using phenetic and phylogenetic approaches. It is also necessary to conserve (ex-situ conservation) these taxa in an internationally recognized repositories in the form of live cultures which would be vital and useful for both basic and applied research in the near future.
