Abstract
We describe a new species Pestalotiopsis furcata isolated from Camellia sinensis (tea), which is distinguished morphologically by its relatively large conidia (29–39 × 8.5–10.5 μm) and 5–9 apical appendages, some of which are branched and lack basal appendages. A phylogenetic tree based on a combination of ITS, β-tubulin and tef1 clearly distinguishes P. furcata from other species in the genus. We examined syntype material of P. theae, which we designate as lectotype, and a fresh collection from Thailand, which we designate as epitype.
