Description.

See Fan et al. (2015).

Material examined.

CHINA, Beijing City, Mentougou District, Mount Dongling, Xiaolongmen Forestry Centre (39°57'54.68"N, 115°27'45.27"E), from branches of Juglans mandshurica Maxim., 22 Aug. 2017, H.Y. Zhu & X.L. Fan, deposited by X.L. Fan, CF 2019807, living culture CFCC 53142; ibid. CF 2019910, living culture CFCC 53143.

Notes.

Fan et al. (2015) introduced Diaporthe rostrata from Juglans mandshurica causing walnut dieback in China. Yang et al. (2017) introduced D. juglandicola as a sister clade with D. rostrata , but it has no conspicuous rostrate necks on the bark. However, we recommend to treat D. juglandicola as a synonym of D. rostrate , based on the same host species, and lacking of phylogenetic support to separate them after involving our current materials (CF 2019807 and CF 2019910) with conspicuous rostrate necks.
