| Description： |
Epiphyllous leaf spots none. Fruiting hypophyllous, black punctiform (consisting of dense turfs of conidiophores), 0.2-1 mm wide, scattered over the leaf surface. Stromata very well developed, up to 650 μm wide, dark brown. Secondary mycelium absent. Conidiophores very numerous (over 500) per fascicle, deep brown, paler at the apex, not branched, multiseptate, uniform in width, plainly geniculate with thickened conidial scars on the rounded shoulders, 200-900 × 4-5 μm. Conidia very pale olivaceous to light brown, broadly obclavate or sigmoid, curved or undulate, indistinctly 0-5 septate, obtuse or broadly rounded at the apex, obconic or rounded at the base towards the subtruncate, conspicuously thickened hilum, 20-55 × 5.5-8.5 μm. | |||

Pseudocercospora litseicola (Boedijn) Guo and Liu (Y.L. Guo & X.J. Liu, 1992) differs from this fungus by its very pale-coloured, narrowly obclavate conidia (49-128 × 2.5-3.5 μm). | |||
