This paper introduces Dictyoarthrinium bambusae as a new species and reports D. thailandicum as a new record for India, both identified from bamboo species in Goa. These taxa were identified based on phylogenetic analyses of nuclear ribosomal DNA (LSU, SSU, and ITS) and protein‐coding genes (TEF1‐ α ), plus morphologi...
