Leuconeurospora bharatiensis was isolated from accumulated snow sediment from Larsemann Hills, near the Indian research station Bharati, Antarctica.Based on the phylogenetic analyses of the ITS region and D1/D2 domain of the 28S nrRNA gene (LSU), a new species in the genus Leuconeurospora is proposed and positioned in the clade with L. pulcherrima and L. capsici. It represents the fourth species in the genus Leuconeurospora. The LSU sequence of L. polypaeciloides was unavailable for comparison, hence it has been excluded from the phylogenetic analysis.
