Abstract A description is provided for Cyttaria darwinii. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: A highly evolved and highly specific obligate parasite causing often spectacular cankers only on branches of Nothofagus species. Fruitbodies only appear on the cankers; this fungus does not cause wood decay. HOSTS: Nothofagus antarctica, N. betuloides, N. dombeyi, N. pumilio, Nothofagus sp. (Fagaceae); more than 70% of all records are from N. antarctica and N. pumilio. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: SOUTH AMERICA: Argentina (Chubut, Neuquén, Río Negro, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego); Chile (Aisén, Los Lagos, Magallanes y Antártica Chilena, Bío-Bío, Maule). Highest recorded altitude: 1700 m. TRANSMISSION: Not known, but presumably infection is by wind-dispersed ascospores. The reasons postulated by INGOLD (1988) for evolution of the golf ball shape of fruitbodies of Cyttaria espinosae [IMI Descriptions No. 1593] are doubtless also valid for this species.

DISEASE: A highly evolved and highly specific obligate parasite causing cankers only on branches of Nothofagus species. Fruitbodies only appear on the cankers; this fungus does not cause wood decay. HOSTS: Nothofagus antarctica, N. obliqua(?), N. pumilio, Nothofagus sp. (Fagaceae) [about 75% of all records are from N. antarctica]. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: SOUTH AMERICA: Argentina (Chubut, Neuquén, Río Negro, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego); Chile (Aisén, La Araucanía, Magallanes y Antártica Chilena, Bío-Bío). Highest recorded altitude: 1800m. TRANSMISSION: Not known, but presumably infection is by wind-dispersed ascospores.

Fruitbodies only appear on the cankers; this fungus does not cause wood decay. HOSTS: Nothofagus antarctica, N. betuloides, N. dombeyi, N. nitida, N. pumilio, Nothofagus sp. (Fagaceae) [old fallen ascomata have also been recorded on soil, being blackish]. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: SOUTH AMERICA: Argentina (Chubut, Neuquén, Río Negro, Tierra del Fuego); Chile (Aisén, La Araucanía, Los Lagos, Magallanes y Antártica Chilena, Bío-Bío, Maule). Highest recorded altitude: 1000 m. TRANSMISSION: Not known, but presumably infection is by wind-dispersed ascospores.

Abstract A description is provided for Cyttaria johowii. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: A highly evolved and highly specific obligate parasite only on branches of Nothofagus species. Fruitbodies only appear on the branches; this fungus does not cause wood decay. HOSTS: Nothofagus betuloides, N. dombeyi (Fagaceae). Cyttaria hariotii has been observed growing in association with C. johowii. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: SOUTH AMERICA: Argentina (Neuquén, Río Negro, Tierra del Fuego); Chile (Magallanes y Antártica Chilena, Bío-Bío, Maule). Highest recorded altitude: 770 m. TRANSMISSION: Not known, but presumably infection is by wind-dispersed ascospores.

Abstract A description is provided for Cyttaria exigua. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: A highly evolved and highly specific obligate parasite only on branches of Nothofagus spp. ; this fungus does not cause wood decay. HOSTS: Nothofagus dombeyi (Fagaceae). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: SOUTH AMERICA: Argentina (Neuquén, Río Negro, Tierra del Fuego); Chile (Magallanes y Antártica Chilena). Highest recorded altitude: 790 m.

Abstract A description is provided for Cyttaria berteroi. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: A highly evolved and highly specific obligate parasite causing often spectacular cankers only on branches of Nothofagus species. Fruitbodies only appear on the cankers; this fungus does not cause wood decay. HOSTS: Nothofagus glauca, N. obliqua, N. obliqua var. macrocarpa, Nothofagus sp. (Fagaceae) [old fallen ascomata have also been recorded on litter and soil]. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: SOUTH AMERICA: Argentina (Neuquén); Chile (La Araucanía, Los Lagos, Santiago de Chile, Bío-Bío). The fungus is more commonly encountered west of the Andes watershed. TRANSMISSION: Not known, but presumably infection is by wind-dispersed ascospores. The reasons postulated by INGOLD (1988) for evolution of the golf ball shape of fruitbodies of Cyttaria espinosae [IMI Descriptions No. 1593] are doubtless also valid for this species.

Abstract A description is provided for Cyttaria espinosae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: A highly evolved and highly specific obligate parasite causing often spectacular cankers only on branches of Nothofagus species. Fruitbodies only appear on the cankers; this fungus does not cause wood decay. HOSTS: Nothofagus dombeyi, N. glauca, N. obliqua, N. obliqua var. macrocarpa, N. nervosa (Fagaceae) [old fallen fruitbodies have also been recorded on litter and soil; almost 70% of all records are from N. obliqua]. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: SOUTH AMERICA: Argentina (Neuquén); Chile (La Araucanía, Los Lagos, Santiago de Chile, Bío-Bío, Maule). Highest recorded altitude: 300 m. This species has a more northerly distribution than other Latin American species. TRANSMISSION: Not known, but presumably infection is by wind-dispersed ascospores. INGOLD (1988) elegantly postulated that the pitted surface of fruitbodies of Cyttaria espinosae evolved not only to maximize hymenial surface area but also, by causing localized air turbulence in their windy environment, to assist ascospore dispersal by preventing build-up of a layer of static air immediately adjacent to the fruitbody surface, functioning in a similar way to the pits of golf balls.
