Cystotheca nanyuensis is a species of powdery mildew in the family Erysiphaceae. It is found in Asia on plants in the genus Quercus.
Many Cystotheca species form dense, white or brown, distorting patches on the leaves of their hosts. Some species in this genus are also known to cause witch's-broom galls on their hosts. Cystotheca nanyuensis, like most Erysiphaceae, is highly host-specific and only infects species in the genus Quercus. It is currently only known from the type collection, on Quercus hypargyrea.[1]
