A new hyphomycete species, Solicorynespora lasianthisp. nov. is described and illustrated from dead branches of Lasianthus chinensis. It is characterized by its monotretic conidiogenous cells producing solitary, ellipsoidal to cylindrical, versicolored and 2-septate conidia. Chaetendophragmia britannica, Corynesporopsis cylindrica, Moorella monocephalaare new records for China. These four species are compared and contrasted with similar species.

Two new conidial fungi, Corynesporopsis liquidambarissp. nov. and Hemicorynespora dimocarpisp. nov., occurring on dead branches of Liquidambar formosanaand Dimocarpus longgana, respectively, are described and illustrated. The first species is characterized by its terminal monotretic conidiogenous cells with short catenate, naviculiform to ellipsoidal, medianly 1-septate conidia. The second species differs from the previously described Hemicorynesporaspecies in mitre-shaped to elongate-oval conidia with a conspicuous truncate basal papilla. H. clavatais recorded for the first time from China. A key to Hemicorynesporaspecies is provided.
