Fungal specimens from Salix causing willow Cytospora canker in northern China were evaluated through morphological observation and phylogenetic analysis. They were identified as four species - C. rostrata sp. nov., C. nivea, C. chrysosperma, and Valsa populina. Cytospora rostrata is a new beaked species parasitizing Salix cupularis in Gansu Province, China. It is morphologically distinguished from other Cytospora species by its fruiting bodies with a single locule and a thorn-like beak. Molecular evidence obtained from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region also suggests that C. rostrata represents a distinct lineage within Cytospora. This is the first Chinese record of C. nivea on Salix.
