Species in the Botryosphaeriaceae are well known as pathogens and saprobes of woody hosts, but little is known about the species that occur in Iran. In a recent survey of this family in Iran two fungi with diplodia-like anamorphs were isolated from various tree hosts. These two fungi were fully characterised in terms of morphology of the anamorphs in culture, and sequences of the ITS1/ITS2 regions of the ribosomal DNA operon and partial sequences of the translation elongation factor 1-alpha. Phylogenetic analyses placed them within a clade consisting of Barriopsis and Phaeobotryon species, but they were clearly distinct from known species in these genera. Therefore, they are described here as two new species, namely Barriopsis iraniana on Citrus, Mangifera and Olea, and Phaeobotryon cupressi on Cupressus sempervirens.
球腔菌科中的物种是众所周知的木本宿主的病原体和腐生物，但对于在伊朗出现的物种知之甚少。在最近对伊朗该科的一项调查中，从各种树木宿主中分离出两种具有 Diplodia 样无性型的真菌。这两种真菌在无性型的培养形态、核糖体 DNA 操纵子的 ITS1/ITS2 区序列和翻译延伸因子 1-α的部分序列方面进行了全面描述。系统发育分析将它们置于一个由 Barriopsis 和 Phaeobotryon 物种组成的分支中，但它们与这些属中的已知物种明显不同。因此，它们被描述为两个新物种，即 Citrus、Mangifera 和 Olea 上的 Barriopsis iraniana，以及 Cupressus sempervirens 上的 Phaeobotryon cupressi。
