03A6A121564DFF9D1FEAF9920C40FEF8.taxon	materials_examined	Type: — CHINA. Hainan Province: Xinglong County, Tropical Botanical Garden, living leaves of Licuala grandis, 8 March 2012, HGUP 4057, K. Geng, HGUPd 4057, holotype! Differs from related Pestalotiopsis and Pestalosphaeria species mainly by its noticeably narrower, fusiform conidia with mostly a single apical appendage. Colonies on PDA attaining 7 cm diam. after 7 days at 25 ° C, with edge undulate, whitish, aerial mycelium on surface, fruiting bodies black, concentric; reverse of culture yellow to pale brown. Conidiophores most often indistinct. Conidiogenous cells discrete, hyaline, simple, filiform, 4 – 10 µm long. Conidia 16 – 20 × 3 – 5 µm (x = 17.4 × 3.9 µm), fusiform, straight to slightly curved, 4 - septate, smooth, greyish brown; basal cell conical, hyaline, thin-walled, 2 – 4 µm long (x = 2.4 µm); with three median cells, dark brown, concolorous, septa and periclinal walls darker than the rest of the cell, together 9.5 – 12 µm long (x = 11 µm); second cell from base 2.7 – 4.2 µm (x = 3.6 µm); third cell 2.4 – 4 µm (x = 3.3 µm); fourth cell 2.5 – 3.8 µm (x = 3.2 µm); apical cell hyaline, conic to subcylindrical, 1.8 – 3.6 µm (x = 2.4 µm); with 1 – 3 tubular apical appendages (mostly 1) without knobs, arising from the apex of the apical cell, 4 – 9.5 µm long (x = 6.6 µm); basal appendage filiform, short.	en	Geng, Kun, Zhang, Bin, Song, Yu, Hyde, Kevin D., Kang, Ji-Chuan, Wang, Yong (2013): A new species of Pestalotiopsis from leaf spots of Licuala grandis from Hainan, China.
