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 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 Diplodia rosarum, which has been implicated in canker or dieback of cultivated roses. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (USA (California, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas), Brazil, Azerbaijan, Republic of Georgia, India, (Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal), Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Cuba, Belgium, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Irish Republic, Italy, Moldova, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden, Ukraine and UK), hosts (Rosa arvensis, R. banksiana, R. canina, R. centifolia, R. corymbifera, R. hybrida, R. multiflora, R. spinosissima, R. tomentosa, R. willmottiae and Rosa sp.) and associated fungi (Botryotinia fuckeliana, Hendersonula sp., Macrophoma camarana, Microdiplodia rosarum, Coniothyrium olivaceum, Pleospora herbarum f. microspora and Valsa ambiens).

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.
