Description.

See Hyde et al. 2020.

Materials examined.

China, Yunnan Province, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Shangri-La City, Sanba County, East Ring Road, 27°36'18"N, 100°1'19"E, on dead branches of Populus szechuanica, 9 August 2022, Lu Lin & Min Lin (BJFC CF20230106, living culture CFCC 58299) .

Notes.

Dothiorella alpina was first introduced by Zhang et al. (2016a) as Spencermartinsia alpina, which has dark brown and 1-septate conidia. Hyde et al. (2020) transfer S. alpina to Dothiorella based on phylogenetic analyses of a concatenated dataset (ITS+ tef1 -α) and morphological similarity. Dothiorella alpina was recorded on Cirus unshiu in Hunan Province, China, and Platycladus orientalis and Ipomoea sp. in Yunnan Province, China. In this study, a new record of Do. alpina from the host Populus szechuanica is included.
