Abstract

Species of Sporocadaceae have often been reported as plant pathogens, endophytes or saprophytes and are commonly isolated from a wide range of plant hosts. The isolated fungi were studied through a complete examination, based on multilocus phylogenies from combined datasets of ITS/tub2/tef1, in conjunction with morphological characteristics. Nine strains were isolated from Ficus microcarpa, Ilex chinensis and Schima superba in China which represented four species, viz., Monochaetia schimaesp. nov., Neopestalotiopsis haikouensissp. nov., Neopestalotiopsis piceana and Pestalotiopsis licualicola. Neopestalotiopsis piceana was a new country record for China and first host record from Ficus macrocarpa. Pestalotiopsis licualicola was first report from Ilex chinensis in China.
