Abstract

We collected an amphisphaeria-like species from dead branches of Acer campestre L. from Italy and pure cultures were obtained. LSU and ITS sequence data showed that, this Amphisphaeria species is distinct from other Amphisphaeria species. Hence we introduce this as a new species, Amphisphaeria acericola with the description and illustration. Morphological comparison of related Amphisphaeria species is also provided.
