  • Description: Caves are important roosts for hundreds of bat species worldwide. Such habitats frequently harbour rich and extremely specialised biotas; however, they remain among the least-studied places on Earth, particularly in the tropical region. The fungal richness in tropical caves in Brazil has recently been studied, and these surveys have reported a largely unexplored mycobiome, highlighting some bat caves as hotspots for fungal findings. During a speleomycological survey in a bat cave in the Caatinga dry forest in Brazil, 15 Cladosporium isolates were obtained from the air and ectoparasitic bat flies (Diptera: Streblidae) collected from the bat Pteronotus gymnonotus (Chiroptera: Mormoopidae). Based on morphological features and multi-gene (ITS rDNA, ACT , and TEF1 ) phylogenetic analyses, we reported eight Cladosporium species in this cave. Two new species, Cladosporium cavernicola and Cladosporium pernambucoense , were isolated from the cave air and have been formally described here. They, along with Cladosporium puris , Cladosporium subuliforme , and Cladosporium tenuissimum , were related to the Cladosporium cladosporioides species complex. Additionally, we recorded Cladosporium austrohemisphaericum , Cladosporium parahalotolerans , and Cladosporium sphaerospermum ( C. sphaerospermum species complex). Our findings emphasise the large potential for new fungal species associated with caves and bats worldwide.
