Abstract

Three previously described species of Mycosphaerella are discussed in relation to their original descriptions and type specimens. M. eucalypti does not appear to be a species of Mycosphaerella . However M. heimii is a distinct species but no Latin diagnosis was provided by the original author and the type specimen could not be located. M. molleriana is also distinct but it has not yet been collected from eucalypts in Australia. Three new species are described from diseased eucalypt leaves collected in southern Australia: M. delegatensis sp.nov., M. swartii sp.nov., and M. walkeri sp.nov. M. swartii and M. walkeri have identical teleomorphs, but distinct anamorphs, Hendersonia eucalyptorum and H. fraseri respectively, and have different host ranges.
