Cytospora hebeiensis, a novel species isolated from M. pumila in Hebei, China, can be distinguished from C. leucostoma by the absence of a black conceptacle (Fan et al. 2020). While the other six species also lack a black conceptacle and exhibit overlapping conidial sizes with C. hebeiensis, they are phylogenetically separated into distinct clades. In the phylogenetic tree (Fig. 3), C. hebeiensis is most closely related to C. malvicolor (from Corylus mandshurica in Beijing, China) and C. linzhiensis (from Euonymus japonicus and Alnus nepalensis in Xizang, China) (Lin et al. 2024; Jiang et al. 2025 a). It can be distinguished from C. malvicolor by its smaller conidia (3.6–6.3 × 1.0–1.5 μm vs. 6.5–7.5 × 1.5–2 μm in C. malvicolor (Lin et al. 2024)), as well as differences in the following gene regions: ITS (3 / 501 bp), act (3 / 242 bp), rpb 2 (11 / 726 bp), tef 1 - α (21 / 427 bp), and tub 2 (21 / 426 bp). C. hebeiensis differs from C. linzhiensis at ITS (5 / 501 bp), act (4 / 242 bp), rpb 2 (10 / 721 bp), tef 1 - α (29 / 509 bp), and tub 2 (9 / 409 bp), as well as by its narrower conidia (3.6–6.3 × 1.0–1.5 μm vs. 5–6 × 1.5–2 μm in C. linzhiensis).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/57FC8F0AFA4A5980BC4BBE2C77E8F296	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Based on the phylogenetic discovery that this species resides in a clade distinct from the epitype of C. chrysosperma, Lin et al. (2024) established it as a new species. Jiang et al. (2025 a) reported that it infects a wide range of hosts, including Betula utilis, Populus sp., and Sorbus rehderiana; notably, it is frequently isolated from various Salix spp., such as S. takasagoalpina, S. caprea, S. integra, and S. chaenomeloides . Although in the tub 2 single-gene phylogeny the sequences of C. pseudochrysosperma did not form a monophyletic clade (see S 1), this is likely attributed to intraspecific genetic variation potentially driven by geographical differences. Crucially, in the multi-locus phylogenetic analysis, all C. pseudochrysosperma isolates, including strains CFCC 72613 and CFCC 72617 obtained from S. matsudana in this study, clustered together with a highly supported clade (MLBP / BPP = 97 / 1.00). This robust phylogenetic placement, coupled with congruent morphological characteristics, confirms their identification as C. pseudochrysosperma and extends the known host range to S. matsudana . This expands its previously documented locations in Gansu and Xizang to the new province, Hebei.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/DA8A5609662C518C92A4ABE0C4EE65F0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In this study, CFCC 72610 was isolated from branches of Caragana microphylla and clustered in a well-supported clade (MLBP / BPP = 100 / 1.00) with CFCC 89595 (the ex-holotype culture of C. sophoricola) (Fig. 3).
