During a study of ophiostomatoid fungi associated with the invasive pest Dendroctonus valens in the Pinus tabuliformis ecosystem in northern China, a multigenic (ITS2-LSU, beta-tubulin and EF1-alpha) phylogenetic analysis and examination of morphological features revealed in addition to Leptographium procerum the occurrence of an undescribed species. The new species, Leptographium sinoprocerum, belongs to the L. procerum-L. profanum clade. Both L. procerum and L. sinoprocerum are similar to each other and occur sympatrically in the ecosystem studied. Nevertheless L. sinoprocerum can be distinguished from L. procerum by shorter conidiophore stipes arising from both submerged and aerial hyphae, slightly more oblong conidia, a granular ornamentation on the submerged hyphae and dark olivaceous colonies on MEA.
