Abstract A description is provided for Barrmaelia oxyacanthae, saprobic on wood of various trees. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (South Africa), North America (Canada, USA (New Jersey, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia)), Asia (Georgia, Japan, Kazakhstan (Aktyubinskaya oblast), Pakistan), Europe (Belarus, Belgium, former Czechoslovakia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK, former Yugoslavia)). B. oxyacanthae is sometimes found on elm twigs previously gnawed by rabbits.

Abstract A description is provided for Corynespora olivacea. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, associated organisms (including Tilia sp.), and conservation status is given, along with details of its habitat and geographical distribution (Asia (Armenia and Turkey), Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and UK), North America (Canada, Manitoba, Newfoundland, Ontario, Quebec), USA (Massachusetts, Mechigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia)). Conidiomata of this species are produced on dead leaves and woody parts, but there is no information about colonization or relations with the colonized tissues.

Abstract A description is provided for Lophiostoma macrostomoides (Thyridaria macrostomoides), which is considered to be a saprobic fungus, colonizing dead bark and lignum tissues. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada, Ontario), USA (Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Utah, Vermont), Asia (China, Xinjiang, Iran, Pakistan), Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK)). L. macrostomoides is reported primarily from dead (decorticated) wood and bark of Populus and Salix species, and recorded more rarely from other woody substrata.

Abstract A description is provided for Alternaria zinniae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Ageratum, Aster, Bidens, Calendula, Callistephus, Chrysanthemum, Coreopsis, Cosmos, Dahlia, Gaillardia, Galinsoga, Gerbera, Helianthus, Notonia, Parthenium, Sphaeranthus indicus, Tagetes, Tithonia, Volutarella, Xanthium, Zinnia. Also recorded are a number of non-compositae hosts such as bean (50, 3295), rape (43, 1212b), Clarkia, Hibiscus esculentus (66. 4729), pawpaws (66. 4729) and seeds of tobacco (64, 1748) but these reports should be regarded with some doubt. Simmons (1982) also reports other hosts like Gentiana, Papaver and Reseda. DISEASE: Leaf spot of Zinnia. The fungus attacks the leaves, stems of its host and can cause damping-off of seedlings where both the root and the stems of the plant may be affected. In older plants the fungus attacks the older leaves and then spreads to the younger leaves, and when the attack is severe the spots may become confluent. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Malawi, Mauritius, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe. Asia: Brunei, China (Liaoning). India, Indonesia (Borneo), Korea, Nepal, Pakistan. Australasia & Oceania: Australia. Europe: Cyprus. Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, The Netherlands. Central & North America: Bermuda, Canada, Jamaica, USA (Hawaii, Illinois, South Dakota). TRANSMISSION: On seeds by wind dispersal of airborne conidia.

Abstract A new distribution map is provided for Gymnosporangium globosum Farlow. Hosts: Apple (Malus pumila), pear (Pyrus communis), Crataegus & Juniperus).

Abstract A description is provided for Podosphaera dipsacacearum, a terrestrial fungus, obligately parasitic on species of the Dipsacaceae, but not causing a serious disease resulting in death of the plant. Some information on its substrata, habitats, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (USA (Washington)), Asia (Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan), Europe (Bulgaria, former Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia (Rostovskaya oblast), Spain, Turkey, Ukraine, UK, former Yugoslavia)). Since Dipsacus species are sometimes regarded as invasives, there may be potential to use P. dipsacacearum as part of an integrated biological control programme.
