Blue Hubbard) from China and the USA that exhibited sooty blotch and flyspeck (SBFS) signs. Morphology on fruit surfaces and in culture, and phylogenetic analyses of the nuclear ribosomal DNA?s LSU and ITS regions, as well as partial translation elongation factor 1-alpha gene sequences in some cases, were used to delineate six previously unidentified species and four known species. Pseudoveronaea was established as a new genus of Dissoconiaceae, represented by two species, P. ellipsoidea and P. obclavata. Although Pseudoveronaea was morphologically similar to Veronaea, these fungi clustered with Dissoconiaceae (Capnodiales) rather than Chaetothyriales (Herpotrichiellaceae). Three novel species of Ramichloridium, R. cucurbitae, R. luteum and R. punctatum, and R. mali comb. nov., were closely related with R. apiculatum, which together formed a distinct subclade in Dissoconiaceae. Species of Dissoconium s. lat. clustered in two well-supported clades, supported by distinct morphological and cultural features. Subsequently Uwebraunia, a former synonym of Dissoconium, was resurrected for the one clade, with new combinations proposed for U. australiensis, U. commune, U. dekkeri, and U. musae. Furthermore, we also report that D. aciculare, D. eucalypti, U. commune and U. dekkeri were associated with SBFS on apples.} }
