Morphologically, our fungal collection shows similarities to known asexual morphs of Phaeosphaeria, and exhibits pycnidial, globose conidiomata, a pycnidia wall composed of cells with textura angularis, ampulliform to broadly conical, hyaline, phialidic conidiogenous cells and pale brown, subcylindrical conidia that are 3-septate. Phylogenetic analyses of maximum-likelihood and Bayesian posterior probabilities of a combined dataset of SSU, LSU, ITS, and tef1- α sequences and morphological analysis confirmed that our fungal collection is Phaeosphaeria acaciae. This is the first report of a Phaeosphaeria taxon on Eriobotrya japonica. ";
