A new asexual ascomycete genus and species, Blastophragmia plurisetulosa, is described and illustrated from a specimen collected on dead branches of unidentified plants in Hainan Province, China. The fungus is distinguished by its macronematous, unbranched, determinate or percurrently extending conidiophores, and solitary, acrogenous, fusiform to ellipsoidal, 3-euseptate, smooth, brown conidia with a single apical setula and 2-4 basal setulae, seceding rhexolytically from monoblastic, integrated, terminal conidiogenous cells.

A key to Blastophragmia and its morphologically similar genera is provided.
