Taxonomical re‐examination of the Phyllosticta species parasitic fungi on coniferous trees (Cupressaceae) in Japan was conducted based on current criteria, such as morphological and cultural characteristics, phylogenetic relationship and pathogenicity. Phylogenetic analyses revealed several clades composed of plant pathogens isolated from a specific host as well as clades composed of endophytic species isolated from various Cupressaceae trees. Each clade was recognized as a species from the morphological characteristics and other features, respectively. Five species of Phyllosticta sensu stricto were recognized, and two of them were newly recorded in Japanese mycoflora. Furthermore, new comibination P. pilospora and its epitype are proposed. The epitype and ex‐type strain are also proposed for P. cryptomeriae in this study.

对日本柏科植物毛竹属（Phyllosticta）-寄生真菌的分类学重新检查

根据目前的标准，如形态和文化特征，系统发育关系和致病性，对日本针叶树（柏科）上的毛竹属寄生真菌进行了分类学重新检查。系统发育分析揭示了几种从特定宿主中分离出的植物病原体组成的进化枝，以及从各种柏科树中分离出的内生物种组成的进化枝。从形态特征和其他特征来看，每个进化枝都被认为是一个物种。五个品种的叶点意义上的严格被认可，其中的两个新记录在日本真菌区系。此外，新的组合P. pilospora并提出其表型。该epitype和前型菌株也提出了P. cryptomeriae这项研究。
