A new species, Tubakia koreana ( Diaporthales , Ascomycota ), isolated in Korea from blight symptoms on Quercus leaves, is described and illustrated. The species is morphologically distinct from other Tubakia species and causes a progressive necrotic leaf blight that differs from leafspot symptoms caused by other species. Phylogenetic analysis of ITS sequences supports a monophyletic T. koreana clade independent of other Tubakia species.
