Abstract A description is provided for Coccomyces tumidus. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Coccomyces tumidus is found on dead fallen leaves which are often beneath the surface of the leaf litter, and which often adhere to other adjacent leaves (making it, incidentally, rather infrequently recorded, although it seems to be not rare). Sometimes one or perhaps more other fungi are also present in the same pale areas. HOSTS: Leaves of Acer sp., Betula sp., Castanea sativa, Castanea sp., Fagus sylvatica, Fagus sp., Gaultheria shallon, Populus tremula, P. tremuloides, Populus sp., Quercus faginea, Q. garryana, Q. pedunculata, Q. rubra, Q. sessiliflora, Quercus sp., Rubus setosus, Rubus sp. (stem). Most records are on members of the Fagaceae. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Belgium, Canada (Nova Scotia, Ontario), Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Morocco, Poland, Rumania, Sweden, UK (England, Wales), USA (Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon, Virginia, Washington). Several unsuccessful searches for this fungus in southern Ukraine. TRANSMISSION: By air-borne ascospores in humid conditions. In the temperate northern hemisphere, most records of open ascocarps containing ascospores are from late summer and early autumn, suggesting that the fungus only infects senescent leaves just prior to natural leaf fall.

Loose Smut

Abstract A description is provided for Ustilago syntherismae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Digitaria spp., including D. filiformis, D. ischaemum, D. sanguinalis. DISEASE: Loose smut of Digitaria. Infection sometimes dwarfs the host and causes it to branch more profusely than usual (36, 657); it is also reported that vegetative vigour is much prolonged in infected plants compared with uninfected (30, 432). Surface contamination by the large number of ustilospores when shed may result in some discolouration of the entire inflorescence including sheaths and leaf blades. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: 'Congo', Gambia, Kenya, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sudan, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe; Asia: Azerbaijan, China, Republic of Georgia, India, Japan, Pakistan, Russia (central Asia, far east); Australasia: Australia: NSW (31, 225); Europe: Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark (39, 284), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia (European region), Ukraine (52, 354); North America: Canada (Ontario; 46, 3383), Mexico, USA (Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Washington DC, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, IA, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, MD, ME, Michigan, Montana, Missouri, MS, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia; 69, 2765); South America: Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay. (33, 634; 40, 209; 48, 2203; 50, 2756; 64, 4163). TRANSMISSION: No detailed studies have been reported; ustilospores are presumably disseminated by air currents and infection is thought to be systemic.

Abstract A description is provided for Septoria cucurbitacearum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Cucumis melo, C. sativus, Cucurbita ficifolia (=C. melanosperma), C. maxima, C. moschata, C. pepo and Bryonia dioica (=B. cretica). DISEASE: Leaf spot of cantaloupe, cucumber, melon, pumpkin, squash and vegetable marrow. The visible symptoms are circular, olive brown lesions, prominent on the upper surface of the leaves. With the progress of the disease the spots enlarge, usually reaching 3-5 mm diam., occasionally 8 mm wide and soon dry up. Older lesions tend to turn white revealing several pycnidia embedded within the tissue. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Zambia); Australasia & Oceania (Australia); Europe (Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Rumania, USSR); North America (USA, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin). TRANSMISSION: Presumably by conidia disseminated by water splash in wet weather or heavy dews.

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.

Nearctic species of the genus Geostiba Thomson, 1858 are revised. Redescription and illustrations are provided for distinguishing the genus Geostiba from other aleocharine genera. Six new species of Geostiba are described (G. (Sibiota) crepusculigena Gusarov, sp. n. from Tennessee, G. (S.) pluvigena Gusarov, sp. n. from North Carolina, G. (S.) coeligena Gusarov, sp. n. and G. (S.) nebuligena Gusarov, sp. n. from Tennessee and North Carolina, G. (S.) appalachigena Gusarov, sp. n. from West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, Wisconsin and Québec; G. (S.) silvigena Gusarov, sp. n. from California). Nine species are redescribed (G. (S.) alticola Lohse & Smetana, 1988, G. (S.) balsamensis Pace, 1997, G. (S.) bicarinata Lohse & Smetana, 1988, G. (S.) graveyardensis Pace, 1997 and G. (S.) nubigena Lohse & Smetana, 1988 known from North Carolina, G. (S.) carteriensis Pace, 1997 and G. (S.) nimbicola Lohse & Smetana, 1988 known from Tennessee and North Carolina, G. (S.) impressula (Casey, 1906) known from Oregon, and G. (s. str.) circellaris (Gravenhorst, 1806) introduced from Europe to Newfoundland). A key for identification of Nearctic species of Geostiba is provided. Geostiba impressula (Casey, 1906) is removed from synonymy with G. circellaris. Ditroposipalia Scheerpeltz, 1951 is placed in synonymy with Sibiota Casey, 1906 (a valid subgenus of Geostiba), Geostiba fossata (Casey, 1910) with G. impressula (Casey, 1906), Sipaliella Casey, 1911 with Meotica Mulsant & Rey, 1873 (a valid genus in tribe Oxypodini) and Sipalia (Sipaliella) filaria Casey, 1911 with Meotica pallens (Redtenbacher, 1849). Tylosipalia Scheerpeltz, 1951 is confirmed to be a synonym of Typhlusida Casey, 1906 (a valid subgenus of Geostiba). The lectotype of Sipalia fossata Casey, 1906 is designated. The geographical distribution of Geostiba in the Southern Appalachians is discussed.

Abstract A description is provided for Tubeufia cerea. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: developing on effete stromata of bark-inhabiting ascomycetes, especially members of the Diatrypaceae, probably also obtaining nutrition from the bark tissues. DISEASE: probably none, the fungus living saprobically on dead fungal tissues for at least most of its life cycle. No detailed studies of its biology in nature have been carried out. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: widely distributed in the north temperate zone with a few records from the tropics. Recorded from Austria, Belgium, Canada, Guyana, India, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, UK, USA (Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Vermont, Utah). TRANSMISSION: the ascospores are presumably air-dispersed and the conidia transmitted via water-splash, but there is no experimental evidence to support these suppositions.
