Abstract
The present paper is a continuation of a series of comprehensive taxonomic treatments of cercosporoid fungi (formerly Cercospora s. lat.), belonging to Mycosphaerellaceae (Ascomycota). This fifth contribution of this series proceeds with treatments of cercosporoid fungi on dicots and comprises species occurring on hosts belonging to the families Anacardiaceae and Annonaceae, which are described and illustrated in alphabetical order under the particular cercosporoid genera, supplemented by keys to the species concerned. A detailed introduction, a survey of currently recognised cercosporoid genera, a key to the genera concerned, and a discussion of taxonomically relevant characters were published in the first part of this series. The following taxonomic novelties are introduced: Passalora cotini sp. nov., P. guoana nom. nov., P. rhois-aromaticae sp. nov., and Pseudocercospora rhoicola.
Highlights
One of the largest groups of fungi belonging to Mycosphaerellaceae (Capnodiales, Ascomycota) includes genera and species akin to the genus Cercospora which are commonly referred to as cercosporoid fungi (Crous & Braun 2003, Braun et al 2013)
The eponymous genus, is associated with sexual morphs belonging to Mycosphaeraella s. str
The type species of the latter genus has a phylogenetically proven asexual morph pertaining to Ramularia (Verkley et al 2004) making Mycosphaerella a younger heterotypic synonym of Ramularia, which has been proposed as the preferred name
Summary
One of the largest groups of fungi belonging to Mycosphaerellaceae (Capnodiales, Ascomycota) includes genera and species akin to the genus Cercospora which are commonly referred to as cercosporoid fungi (Crous & Braun 2003, Braun et al 2013). Note: Several names have been misapplied to this species, in particular that of Cercospora toxicodendri Ellis (Braun, 1998).
