ABSTRACT(Full papers: 200 words or less. Short communications/Notes: 150 words or lessas a standard format)

Please provide an abstract with a length of no more than 200 words for Full papers andReviews or 100 words or less for Short communications and Notes. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references. In general, do not include the names of authorities for taxa in the title and abstract.

Keywords: Atractiellales,[A2]Phalaenopsis, Phylogeny, Pucciniomycotina, Taxonomy

(up to 5 words or phrases; in alphabetical order; do not repeat words already present in the title; not capitalize initials of common words except for proper nouns)

1.[A3]Introduction(primary heading; in bold; hierarchically numbered;used ONLY for Full papers/Reviews)

Start paragraphs with indentation. Italics and boldface type should be specified using the features of standard word-processing software. A Short communication and Note should not be divided into sections, except for References.

Use tab stops or other commands for indents; do not use the space bar. Cite references in the text by surname of the author(s) and year of publication in parentheses, like Imazekiand[A4]Hongo (1965). Articles should be cited chronologically (e.g., Cooke [A5]Rayner, 1984;[A6]Chatasiri[A7] Ono, 2005; Foltz, Perez,[A8] & Volk, 2013, p. 112[A9]). In the case of articles with multiple authors, all author names should be cited when the numbers of authors are no more than five, i.e., two, three, four and five authors, but be abbreviated using “et al.” in the case of more than six authors, when they are cited firstly, e.g., (Domsch, Gams, & Anderson, 1980a, 1980[A10]b[three authors]; BuyckHofstetter, 2011 [two authors]; Buyck, Cruaud, Couloux, & Hofstetter, 2011 [four authors]; Buyck, Kauff, Eyssartier, Couloux, & Hofstetter, 2014[five authors]; Buycket al.,[A11]2016[six authors]). Articles of threeauthors or more should be abbreviated by using “et al.” after their second citation, i.e., Domsch[A12]et al. (1980a, 1980[A13]b) [three authors]; Buyckand[A14]Hofstetter (2011) [two authors]; Buyck et al. (2011, 2014, 2016) [four, five and six authors, respectively]).

2. Materials and methods

2.1. Morphology[second-level heading; in italics; hierarchically numbered; you may use the second-level headings (but not hierarchically numbered)for Short communications/Notes, if necessary]

Start second-level headings at the left margin in boldface (but not italic). Authors are urged to deposit voucher specimens and cultures in internationally acknowledged herbaria and culture collections. The registered specimen numbers or strain numbers must be cited in the paper.

According to the recommendations in the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICNafp), authors describing new species or new infraspecific taxa are recommended to deposit a living culture (ex-type culture), whenever practicable, in at least two institutional culture or genetic resource collections, and cite these accession numbers in the paper (G. Okada, personal communication, August 19, 2017).

2.2. Molecular phylogeny

2.2.1. DNA extraction, amplification, sequencing and sequence alignment(third-level heading; in italics; hierarchically numbered)

Third-level headings are initalics; bold formatting is not used. Molecular sequence data must be deposited in a molecular sequence repository (DDBJ, EMBL, or GenBank, and the accession number(s) must be cited in the paper.

2.2.2. Phylogenetic analyses

Third-level headings are italicized. Authors are requested to deposit sequence alignments in TreeBASE ( or inother internationally acknowledgeddatabases and to indicate the accession number in the manuscript.

3. Results

3.1. Morphology

Start the first paragraph after main headings here. Do not start sentences with numbers, symbols, or abbreviated words (e.g., abbreviated taxon names). Do not forget tocite all figures in the text (e.g., Fig. 1; Fig. 1A, B; Fig. 1Aa, b, Ba, b; Figs. 1, 2; Figs. 1, 2, 4; Figs. 1–3).
