Importance and distribution
Neotestudina comprises three species. Neotestudina cunninghamiae is reported from roots of Ligustrum vulgare (Oleaceae) in soil in Europe (France). Neotestudina diplodioides is known on branch of Artemisia (Asteraceae) in The United States (Utah) while N. rosatii is known causing white grain mycetoma (Hospenthal et al. 2015) from a human foot in Africa (Somalia).
