Abstract A description is provided for Bifusella linearis. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Pinus albicaulis, P. flexilis, P. monticola, P. strobus. DISEASE: Needle blight and needle cast of white pines, tar spot needle cast, Bifusella blight. The disease apparently occurs only under moist conditions, and since its effects are usually limited to defoliation of needles two or three years old, it is not devastating. Probably infects young needles but macrosymptoms do not show up until the following spring when needles become blighted from the tip part-way to the base. The disease tends to occur principally in the lower crown (47, 2867). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: North America (Canada: British Columbia, Ontario, U.S.A. : California, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Washington, Wisconsin). TRANSMISSION: By air-borne ascospores in wet or humid weather.

Abstract A description is provided for Lophodermium kumaunicum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Pinus kesiya, P. roxburghii. DISEASE: Needle cast of pines. Little is known about the ecology of this species, but it seems likely that it fruits only after the needles have entered the litter. It is important to distinguish this species from other pine needle inhabitating species of Lophodermium, some of which are well documented as being strongly pathogenic (CMI Descriptions 563, 564, 568). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia (India: Assam, Uttar Pradesh; Philippines). TRANSMISSION: By air-borne ascospores in wet or humid weather.

Abstract A description is provided for Lophodermium pini-excelsae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Pinus ayacahuite, P. banksiana, P. cembra, P. excelsa, P. kesiya, P. koraiensis, P. longifolia, P. palustris, P. parviflora, P. patula, P. pentaphylla, P. peuce, P. pumila, P. strobus, P. tueda, P. wallichiana. DISEASE: Needle cast of pines. Ascocarps of this species occur predominantly on dead needles in the litter; they may also, however, occur on dead needles still attached to twigs, including twigs which have died because of suppression. The pathogenic status of this species is not clear, but it is important to distinguish it from other more strongly pathogenic pine inhabiting species of the same genus, such as L. seditiosum Minter, Staley & Millar (CMI Descriptions 568). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia (India: Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir; Japan, West Pakistan), Europe (Belgium, Great Britain, Ireland), North America (Canada: Ontario). TRANSMISSION: By air-borne ascospores in wet or humid weather.

Abstract A description is provided for Lirula nervisequia. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Abies alba, A. cephalonica, A. pectinata. DISEASE: Needle cast of fir. Lirula nervisequia is locally serious in Europe (but not in Great Britain) as a cause of defoliation of A. alba. Discoloration does not appear until the leaves are two years old, i.e. at the beginning of their third year. On A. cephalonica the fungus seems to be purely saprophytic. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Europe (Austria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Rumania, Sweden, Switzerland). TRANSMISSION: By air-borne ascospores in wet or humid conditions.
