Abstract
A new asexual ascomycete genus and species, Blastophragmia plurisetulosa, is described and illustrated from a specimen collected on dead branches of unidentified plants in Hainan Province, China. The fungus is distinguished by macronematous, unbranched, determinate or percurrently extending conidiophores, and solitary, acrogenous, fusiform to ellipsoidal, 3-euseptate, smooth, brown conidia with a single apical setula and 2–4 basal setulae, seceding rhexolytically from monoblastic, integrated, terminal conidiogenous cells. A key to Blastophragmia and its morphologically similar genera is provided.
