However,  P. elliptica differs from  P. aucubae-japonicae by 70 nucleotides (31 / 628 in ITS, 0 / 737 in LSU, 22 / 266 in tef, 17 / 239 in ACT, and 0 / 725 in GPDH) and from  P. gwangjuensis by 60 nucleotides (25 / 634 in ITS, 0 / 737 in LSU, 16 / 376 in tef 1, 19 / 214 in ACT, and 0 / 725 in GPDH). In morphology, they are distinguished by different hosts ( Rubus ellipticus var. obcordatus vs.  Aucuba japonica vs.  Torreya nucifera) and longer conidia in  Phyllosticta elliptica than in  P. aucubae-japonicae and  P. gwangjuensis (12–15 × 7.5–11 μm (L / W 1.17 –1.54) vs. 10–13 × 5–8.5 μm (L / W 1.41 –1.65) vs. (8.5 –) 10–13.5 × 7–9 (– 9.5) μm (L / W 1.40 –1.53)) (Hernandez-Restrepo et al. 2016; Nguyen et al. 2022). Therefore, based on morphology and phylogenetic evidence, we establish this fungus as  Phyllosticta elliptica sp. nov.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B28C49F770A1559AB2289EEE7D319D08	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
