Up to now, four species of Zygophiala have been recorded, most of them as agents of flyspeck disease on apples. Two species of Zygophiala associated with flyspeck on apple in China are described in this paper. Zygophiala cylindrica is described as a new fungal species based on morphological characteristics and analysis of DNA sequences, and a phylogenetic analysis of the DNA sequences data is presented. Zygophiala cryptogama is recorded for the first time in China.
