Three Pestalotiopsis isolates were obtained from leaves of Coffea arabica and Rhodomyrtus tomentosa. Among them, two isolates produced versicolorous conidia, and the other produced concolorous conidia. Phylogenetic analysis based on a combination of ITS, β-tubulin and tef1 gene sequence data clearly confirms that they belong to two species and distinguishes them from other species in this genus, with ex-type sequence data in GenBank. On the basis of evidence from morphology and molecular phylogeny they are described as new species, Pestalotiopsis coffeae-arabicae sp. nov. and P. rhodomyrtus sp. nov.
