Phylogenetic tree of Ophiocordyceps and related genera, based on the concatenation of LSU, SSU, TEF1α, RPB1 and RPB2 sequence data. The tree was generated from an alignment of 4,827 sites and 143 taxa (38 within O. unilateralis). The phylogeny was inferred using the IQ-tree. Values at the nodes represent IQ-tree bootstrap proportions (on the left) and posterior probabilities (on the right). All values were shown at the nodes. The scale bar 0.02 indicates the number of expected mutations per site. The two new species were indicated in blue and red font within O. unilateralis core clade. Two species (T. inflatum OSC 71235 and T. ophioglossoides CBS 100239) in Tolypocladium were used as the outgroup taxa.
