Type species – Uzbekistanica rosae-hissaricae Wanas., Gafforov & K.D. Hyde, in Wanasinghe et al., Fungal Divers 89: 100 (2018).
Notes – Wanasinghe et al. (2018c) introduced Uzbekistanica typified by the sexual morph species Uzbekistanica rosae-hissaricae and asexual species U. yakutkhanika which formed a sister group with U. rosae-hissaricae in a distinct monophyletic clade. Uzbekistanica is characterized by broadly oblong ascomata, septate pseudoparaphyses, cylindrical to cylindric-clavate asci, and muriform, ellipsoidal, yellowish brown to brown ascospores. The asexual morph is coelomycetous, with globose conidiomata, holoblastic, cylindrical to subcylindrical, hyaline conidiogenous cells and 1-septate, sepia or brown conidia (Wanasinghe et al. 2018c). Hyde et al. (2020b) introduced the new species, U. pruni collected from dead twigs of Prunus armeniaca in Russia.
