Abstract A description is provided for Pochonia suchlasporia. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Both varieties parasitize nematode eggs, rarely insect larvae. HOSTS: NEMATODA: var. suchlasporia: Heterodera spp., more rarely Globodera rostochiensis (DACKMAN 1990); var. catenata: also Heterodera avenae (ZARE et al., 2001). INSECTA: Lymantria dispar (gipsy moth, Lepidoptera) (CARROLL, 1987, as Verticillium coccosporum; ZARE et al., 2001). Also isolated from soil. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Mainly temperate (EUROPE, NORTH AMERICA: USA, Canada) but also reported from Cuba (HIDALGO-DIAZ et al., 2000). TRANSMISSION: Soil- and air-borne.

Abstract A description is provided for Cucurbitaria laburni. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Laburnum anagyroides, L. alpinum, Cytisus capitatus, C. pungens, C. radiatus. DISEASE: not researched, but its presence as a primary colonizer of recently dead bark suggests that it is most probably a weak pathogen affecting moribund twigs and branches, possibly following an endophytic phase. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Temperate Europe and North America. Recorded from the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, UK, Ukraine and USA (New York, Ohio). TRANSMISSION: not studied, but the ascospores must be air-dispersed and the conidia are probably transmitted primarily through water-splash.

Abstract A description is provided for Colpoma quercinum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Quercus lanuginosa, Q. pedunculata, Q. robur, Quercus sp. DISEASE: Die-back of oak. The evidence on degree of pathogenicity and mode of entry into the substratum is conflicting. It has been suggested by Twyman (1946) that the fungus is pathogenic and infects through mechanical wounds or damage caused by certain insect larvae. Boddy & Rayner (1984), however, argued that the apparent rapidity and exclusiveness with which C. quercinum becomes established in twigs after fall suggests that it may be present before fall in a latent form, perhaps in the bark. Endobiotic latency is thought to be a common phenomenon in the Rhytismataceae, the family to which C. quercinum belongs, so this explanation is probably more accurate. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia: Pakistan, USSR (Caucasus). Europe: Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, England, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, USSR (Russia), Wales. Collections identified as this fungus are known from North America, but further research is needed to establish whether they are truly identical. TRANSMISSION: By air-borne ascospores in humid conditions.

I wish to draw particular attention to this genus and its allies. I have, in 1865, drawn a parallel between the group and the Hawk Moths, from the young stages and the peculiar pupation, and in my pamphlet on “the Hawk Moths of North America,” I hae discussed the probabilities of their relationship. But I here wish to point out that the group is American; that in America we may except to find old types among that portion of the fauna which is indigenous, pre-tertiary, and to this Citrheronia belongs.
