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 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.
