Table 2 Conventional nomenclature derived from phylogenetic analyses

From: The Trichoderma harzianum demon: complex speciation history resulting in coexistence of hypothetical biological species, recent agamospecies and numerous relict lineages

Phylogenetic species:

Taxonomic value

T. harzianum

yes

T. sp. 'afroharzianum nom. prov.'

yes, awaiting description

Hypothetical phylogenetic species:

 

H. sp. 'paralixii nom. prov.'

no, awaiting verification

H. sp. 'cameroonense nom. prov.'

no, awaiting verification

Lone lineages with unresolved phylogenetic position but belonging to established taxonomic species:

 

H. lixii

yes

T. inhamatum

yes

Above species taxonomic units:

 

Harzianum - Catoptron Clade

yes

H. lixii - T. harzianum species complex or aggregate = H. lixii/T. harzianum sensu Chaveri et al., [16]

no

Conventional terms for groups of strains with unresolved relations:

 

'pseudoharzianum matrix' = H. sp. 'pseudoharzianum nom. prov. dub.'

no

Lixii Subclade

no

Subclades IIa, III, IV, V and X

no
