The new species is morphologically distinguished from the similar species P. karstenii in having unbranched and short apical appendages, from P. heteroconis in the absence of basal appendages, and from P. westerdijkii in the different median cell colour and absent basal appendage. Furthermore, this new species has a large conidium length/width ratio. Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS region (ITS1, 5.8S and ITS2) and beta-tubulin 2 gene (tub2) indicated that P. hainanensis is different from P. karstenii, P. heteroconis and P. westerdijkii. It is suggested that when a new Pestalotiopsis species is described, both of morphological characters and molecular phylogenetic information are necessary to prove the new taxon is unique from other known species.} }
