Diaporthe caryae C.M. Tian & Q. Yang sp. nov. Figure 7
Diagnosis.
Diaporthe caryae differs from its closest phylogenetic neighbour, D. charlesworthii and D. sackstonii , in ITS, tef1 and tub2 loci based on the alignments deposited in TreeBASE.
Holotype.
CHINA. Jiangsu Province: Nanjing city, on symptomatic twigs of Carya illinoensis , 10 Nov. 2015, Q. Yang (holotype: BJFC-S1476; ex-type culture: CFCC 52563).
Etymology.
Named after the host genus on which it was collected, Carya .
Description.
Conidiomata pycnidial, immersed in bark, scattered, slightly erumpent through the bark surface, nearly flat, discoid, with a solitary undivided locule. Ectostromatic disc brown to black, one ostiole per disc. Locule undivided, 310-325 μm diam. Conidiophores 7-11 × 1.4-2.2 μm, cylindrical, phialidic, unbranched, sometimes inflated. Alpha conidia hyaline, aseptate, ellipsoidal or fusiform, eguttulate, obtuse at both ends, 7-8.5 × 2.1-2.5 μm (av. = 8 × 2.3 μm, n = 30). Beta conidia hyaline, aseptate, filiform, straight or hamate, eguttulate, base subtruncate, tapering towards one apex, 15.5-34 × 1.1-1.4 µm (av. = 27.5 × 1.2 µm, n = 30).
Culture characters.
Cultures incubated on PDA at 25 °C in darkness. Colony at first flat with white felty mycelium, becoming black in the centre and black at the marginal area with age, conidiomata not observed.
Additional specimens examined.

Notes.
Two strains representing D. caryae cluster in a well-supported clade and appear closely related to D. charlesworthii and D. sackstonii . Diaporthe caryae can be distinguished based on ITS, tef1 and tub2 loci from D. charlesworthii (50/468 in ITS, 107/338 in tef1 and 90/707 in tub2); from D. sackstonii (4/440 in ITS, 13/340 in tef1 and 23/701 in tub2). Morphologically, D. caryae can be distinguished from D. charlesworthii by its shorter conidiophores (7-11 vs. 15-35 μm); from D. sackstonii by its longer alpha conidia (7-8.5 vs. 6-7 μm) ( Thompson et al. 2015).
