Resumo

A study of monocotyledon inhabiting fungi in Guangdong Province, China resulted in the collection of several pestaloid taxa.Evidence from multi-locus phylogenies using ITS, BT and tef 1-α, together with morphology revealed Neopestalotiopsis alpapicalis, Pestalotiopsis diploclisiae and P. parva from living leaves of Phoenix roebelenii.Pestalotiopsis parva was also found on a dead petiole of Phoenix sp. and P. diploclisiae on dead leaves of Butia sp.Pestalotiopsis foedans, P. lawsoniae, P. macadamia and P. virgatula have been reported in Guangdong Province, and Pestalotiopsis parva and P. diploclisiae reported for the first time.This Neopestalotiopsis alpapicalis collection is the first species of the genus collected from this province.We provide descriptions and illustrations for these three isolates.Additionally, we provide a list of Pestalotiopsis and Neopestalotiopsis species recorded from China.
