| description | <i>Diatrypaceae</i> members have a broad distribution and are commonly found on decaying wood. Despite taxonomic and morphological challenges within this group, there has been a growing interest in <i>Diatrypaceae</i> in recent years. The dead branches of several plant hosts with fungal fruiting bodies were collected from Doi Tung National Park, Chiang Rai, and the Narathiwat Provinces in Thailand. Their morphological characteristics, coupled with a molecular phylogeny of combined ITS and <i>tub</i>2 sequence data, were used to introduce two novel <i>Allodiatrype</i> species (<i>A. dalbergiae</i> and <i>A. eleiodoxae</i>) and one new <i>Melanostictus</i> species (<i>M. chiangraiensis</i>). Moreover, four new host records, <i>Diatrypella heveae</i>, <i>D. major</i>, <i>Melanostictus thailandicus</i>, and <i>Paraeutypella citricola</i> on <i>Microcos paniculata</i>, <i>Nayariophyton zizyphifolium</i>, <i>Dalbergia cultrata</i>, and <i>M. paniculata</i>, respectively, as well as a new geographical record of <i>D. major</i> are reported. This research provides detailed descriptions of macro- and microcharacteristics, coupled with a phylogenetic tree for the newly introduced species and host records. The morphological features of <i>Allodiatrype</i> and <i>Melanostictus</i> are listed in the synoptic table. |
