Abstract A description is provided for Soleella striiformis. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Pinus pinaster, P. sabiniana, P. torreyana. DISEASE: Needle cast of Pinus torreyana (Darker, 1932). No further information is available: the lack of subsequent reports of the disease suggests that it is not economically significant. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: USA: California. Only reported from the San Francisco and Monterey areas. TRANSMISSION: Unknown. Related fungi almost exclusively have air-dispersed spores, which directly infect the host needles.

Abstract A description is provided for Lophodermium indianum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Pinus caribaea, P. glabra, P. patula, P. roxburghii, P. serotina, P. taeda; previous reports of this species on P. thunbergii are incorrect. DISEASE: Needle cast of pines. Ascocarps of this species occur predominantly on dead needles in the litter, so that at first sight it appears to be saprophytic. Almost nothing is known of its ecology, however, and since many other species of this genus inhabitating pine needles are known to exist as endophytes in apparently healthy needles before producing ascocarps, this species should be regarded as a potential pathogen until shown to be otherwise. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia (India: Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh; Pakistan: Rawalpindi). TRANSMISSION: By air-borne ascospores in wet or humid weather.

Abstract A description is provided for Lophodermium conigenum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Mainly Diploxylon (two-three needle) pines, including Pinus brutia, P. densiflora, P. montana, P. mugo, P. nigra, P. resinosa, P. sylvestris, P. tabuliformis, P. contorta, P. halepensis, P. pinea and P. radiata. Has also been recorded from Haploxylon (five needle) pines. DISEASE: Needle cast of pines. Lophodermium conigenum inhabits green needles on the tree, producing no symptoms. When a branch bearing such needles is killed by an agent other than the fungus, L. conigenum fruits seprophytically on the needles. It causes no significant damage to the tree. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread in Europe, a couple of records from the USA (east coast and Michigan) where it is apparently not common, New Zealand. TRANSMISSION: By air-borne ascospores in wet weather/humid conditions.

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 orientale. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Pinus excelsa. DISEASE: Needle cast of pines. Ascocarps of this species tend to occur in association with those of Lophodermium pini- excelsae Ahmad (CMI Descripriptions 785), but the exact nature of that association is not known since the ecology of these more recently recognised pine-inhabiting species of Lophodermium is still unexplored. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia (West Pakistan). TRANSMISSION: By air-borne ascospores in wet or humid weather.

Abstract A description is provided for Lophodermella orientalis. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Pinus kesiya. DISEASES: 'Yellow band' needle cast of pines. This disease was first encountered at two hardwood forest sites near Darjeeling, at altitudes of 1600 m and 2100 m above sea level, affecting P. kesiya in plantations 6 months, 18 months and 6 years of age. The proportion of trees infected varied from 20-80%, with up to 40% of the needles bearing lesions. Symptoms have been reported mainly from secondary needles and only occasionally from primary needles. They began as broad yellow bands up to 2 cm wide, later each with several large orange or brown elliptical spots which on microscopic examination were seen to be ascomata embedded in the needle. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: India (West Bengal), Thailand. TRANSMISSION: By ascospores extruded in cirrhi in wet or humid conditions. This is a most unusual feature for members of the Rhytismataceae, which generally disperse by airborne ascospores. It is possible that this species may also disperse by airborne ascospores in conditions other than those in which it has been observed to date.

Abstract A description is provided for Davisomycella asiatica. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Pinus sp. DISEASES: Needle cast of pines. Very little is known of the biology of this recently-described and interesting species, which has some features intermediate between Davisomycella Darker and Elytroderma Darker, but in view of the parasitic behaviour of other members of the same genus in North America, and of the strongly parasitic biology of members of the genus Elytroderma, it must be regarded as a potential pathogen of pines in south-east Asia. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Thailand. TRANSMISSION: By airborne ascospores in wet or humid conditions.
