abstract = {The majority of Diatrype species are saprobes, while a few species are pathogens which form cankers on forest trees. The placement of several species in genera is uncertain, as the phylogeny has yet to be well-resolved with extensive taxon sampling and authentic ex-type cultures. In this study, a diatrype-like taxon was found on decaying wood in Lijiang, Yunnan Province, China. Morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses of combined ITS and β-tubulin sequences, supported the conclusion that our taxon is a new species, which is named Diatrype lijiangensis. The new species differs from other species in Diatrype in its stroma morphology, asci and ascospores characteristics. The morphological similarities and dissimilarities of our new species with phylogenetically close alliances are discussed. Micro-morphological characteristics of the novel taxon are illustrated with descriptions.}
