A new species, Vaginatispora bharatensis, is reported from the forest area of Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary, Karnataka, India, based on morphological and molecular data (28S, 18S, ITS internal transcribed space, tef1-α translation elongation factor 1-alpha, rpb2 RNA polymerase II second largest subunit, and β-tub beta-tubulin sequences). V. bharatensis is the first anamorphic report of the genus Vaginatispora based on conidial form collected from the wild. The species is introduced in this paper as a novel species, with comprehensive description, illustration, and multigene phylogenetic analysis.
