New York Bot. Gard. 49: 260. 1989 . Description and illustration :— Hirooka et al. (2012) and Zhuang (2013) . Habitat :—On the bark of dicotyledonous trees. Distribution :—Asia ( China ), Caribbean, South America. Notes :— Nectria pseudocinnabarina was described by Rossman (1989) and re-assessed by Samuels & Brayford (1994) . A similar ascomatal wall structure was observed in N . lateritia , N. pseudadelphica , and N . pseudotrichia , species known only from tropical regions. Their ascospore differences clearly distinguish these four species ( Hirooka et al. 2012 ). Zhuang (2013) described and illustrated N . pseudocinnabarina , which had been collected from Hebei and Qinghai provinces in China , and his description agreed well with that given by Hirooka et al. (2012) .
