ABSTRACT=<p>During an investigation of <italic>Diatrypaceae</italic> from southern China, 10 xylariales-like taxa have been collected. Morphological and multi-gene analyses confirmed that these taxa reside in <italic>Diatrypaceae</italic> and represent eight novel taxa and two new records belonging to six genera <italic>(viz</italic>., <italic>Allocryptovalsa, Diatrype, Diatrypella, Paraeutypella, Peroneutypa</italic>, and <italic>Vasilyeva</italic> gen. nov.). <italic>Vasilyeva</italic> gen. nov. was proposed to accommodate <italic>Vasilyeva cinnamomi</italic> sp. nov. Among the other collections, seven new species were introduced (<italic>viz</italic>., <italic>Diatrype camelliae-japonicae</italic> sp. nov., <italic>Diatrype rubi</italic> sp. nov., <italic>Diatrypella guiyangensis</italic> sp. nov., <italic>Diatrypella fatsiae-japonicae</italic> sp. nov., <italic>Paraeutypella subguizhouensis</italic> sp. nov., <italic>Peroneutypa hainanensis</italic> sp. nov., and <italic>Peroneutypa qianensis</italic> sp. nov.), while two were reported as new records from China (<italic>Allocryptovalsa rabenhorstii</italic> and <italic>Diatrype enteroxantha</italic>). For <italic>Diatrypaceae</italic>, the traditional taxonomic approach based on morphology may not be applicable.</p>
