Abstract
During the collection of tropical powdery mildews in Cibodas Botanical Garden and Mount Tangkuban Perahu in Indonesia, we found interesting specimens on Castanopsis javanica (Fagaceae). Phylogenetic analysis using a combination of 28S and ITS rDNA sequences clearly showed that this fungus forms a distinct lineage among the Erysiphe species found on hosts of the plant genus Castanopsis. Therefore, we consider this fungus a new species of Erysiphe, described here as Erysiphe javanica. Differences between E. javanica and closely related Erysiphe species are discussed.
