These new species of Hypoxylon are described: H. elevatidiscus, H. squamulosum, H. subalbum and H. vinosopulvinatum. A referenced list of all Hypoxylon species known to us described since 1996 is given and a key presented. Names associated with Hypoxylon that were not given in the Ju and Rogers monograph are annotated and diagnostic corrections of taxa discussed in that monograph are given.
