Deskripsi
<i>Apiospora</i> is widely distributed throughout the world, and most of its hosts are <i>Poaceae</i>. In this study, <i>Arthrinium</i>-like strains were isolated from non-<i>Poaceae</i> in the Hainan and Fujian provinces of China. Based on the combined DNA sequence data of the internal transcriptional spacer (ITS), partial large subunit nuclear rDNA (LSU), translation extension factor 1-α gene (<i>TEF1-α</i>) and β-tubulin (<i>TUB2</i>), the collected <i>Apiospora</i> specimens were compared with known species, and three new species were identified. Based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses, <i>Apiospora adinandrae</i> sp. nov., <i>A. bawanglingensis</i> sp. nov. and <i>A. machili</i> sp. nov. are described and illustrated.
