Abstract A description is provided for Lecanicillium lecanii. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Insect-pathogenic; the fungus penetrates the body of its hosts, sporulates and eventually kills them. HOSTS: Members of the homopteran insect family Coccidae, particularly the green coffee scale, Coccus viridis. Other hosts: Ceroplastes (Lo & CHAPMAN, 1998), Parthenolecanium (SAMŠINAKOVÀ & KALALOVÀ, 1975), Philephedra (PENA & MCMILLAN, 1986), Planococcus (GONZÀLEZ et al., 1995), Saissetia (MENDEL et al., 1984) and a black Aleyrodes (PETCH, 1925). Cephalosporium coccorum was recorded on Chionaspis and Lepidosaphes in England (PETCH, 1925). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Mainly tropical. NORTH AMERICA: USA. CENTRAL AMERICA: Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica. SOUTH AMERICA: Ecuador (Galápagos Is), Peru. ASIA: China, India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka. AUSTRALASIA: New Zealand. EUROPE: Great Britain, Turkey. TRANSMISSION: Soil- and air-borne.

Abstract A description is provided for Septoria antirrhini. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Leaf spot, leaf drying, defoliation. HOSTS: Antirrhinum antirrhiniflorum, A. majus, A. siculum (Scrophulariaceae). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: AFRICA: South Africa.

TRANSMISSION: Not reported, but almost certainly by airborne, splash-dispersed conidia from infected plant debris and seed stocks. The disease is significantly more severe under wet weather conditions (SINADSKIY et al., 1985).

Abstract A description is provided for Puccinia chrysanthemi. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Chrysanthemum boreale, C. decaisneanum, C. hortum, C. indicum, C. makinoi, C. pacificum, C. shimotomaii, C. shiwagiku, C. sinense and C. zawadskii. DISEASE: Black rust of cultivated chrysanthemum. Attacks mainly leaves, killing them and causing premature defoliation. Severe foliar infection in certain varieties is accompanied by slight infection of stems and occasionally of the involucre. Affected plants often become stunted and produce few flowers. Heavy damage was caused in Germany during 1926-27 (8: 242). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Morocco, Rhodesia, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda); Asia (China, India, Israel, Japan, Korea, U.S.S.R.); Australasia and Oceania (Australia, Hawaii, New Zealand, Tasmania); Europe (Azores, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, Iceland, Italy, Malta, N. Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, U.S.S.R., Yugoslavia); N. America (Bermuda, Canada, U.S.A.); Central America & W. Indies (Dominican Republic); S. America (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay). (CMI Map 117, Ed. 2, 1964). TRANSMISSION: Teliospores have been reported from Japan, N. America and Sweden; elsewhere the fungus is known in the uredial stage only. It has been shown that urediospores wintered in the open can germinate in the spring (Jacky, Z. Pfl.-Krankh. 10: 132, 1900; Zbl Bakt. II, 10: 369, 1903; 18: 88, 1907). It is believed that urediospores can remain viable through winter on woodwork, glass, fallen leaves or in the soil (Pape, Gartenwelt 32: 623, 1928). No perennial mycelium has been found (Gibson, New Phytol. 3: 188, 1904).

Abstract A description is provided for Lophiostoma caulium, which is considered to be a saprobic fungus, colonizing dead culm tissues. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Morocco), Central America (Costa Rica), North America (Canada, Ontario), USA (Arizona, California, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, Virginia), South America (French Guiana), Asia (China, Xinjiang, Iran, Japan, Pakistan, Taiwan, Turkmenistan), Australasia (Australia, Queensland, New Zealand), Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK)). L. caulium as currently circumscribed is a plurivorous species of herbaceous stems and has been reported more rarely from woody substrata.
