Abstract A description is provided for Asperisporium vitiphyllum, a colonizer of living leaves, causing a leaf spot or brown leaf blotch and leaf drying. Some information on its habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Morocco and South Africa), Asia (Armenia, China, Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Kazakhstan (Almaty oblast), Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan), Europe (Moldova, Russia (Krasnodar krai, Leningradskaya oblast, Stavropol krai) and Ukraine)) and hosts (including Vitis vinifera).

Abstract A description is provided for Passalora marmorata, a colonizer of living leaves of Rhus spp., causing leaf spot symptoms and probably hastening leaf drying, possibly later becoming saprobic, producing caespituli in the dead areas of the leaf. Some information on its habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Ethiopia), Asia (Armenia and Georgia) and Europe (France, Italy, Portugal, Russia (Rostov oblast) and Ukraine)) and hosts (including Rhus coriaria, R. petitiana and Searsia glutinosa).

Abstract A description is provided for Passalora bupleuri, a colonizer of living leaves, causing mild leaf spot symptoms and further leaf fading and drying, probably hastening leaf death. Some information on its habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (South America (Chile), Asia (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, India (Orissa and West Bengal), Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia (Kamchatka oblast, Primorye krai) and Uzbekistan), Caribbean (Cuba) and Europe (Bulgaria, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia (Belgorod oblast, Kabardino-Balkaria Republic, Leningradskaya oblast, Lipetsk oblast, Stavropol krai, Tver oblast, Voronezh oblast), Slovakia, Spain and Ukraine)) and hosts (including Bupleurum tenuissimum).

Abstract A description is provided for Septoria cannabis. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST: Cannabis sativa (hemp). DISEASE: White leaf spot or leaf blight of hemp. Symptoms usually appear on basal leaves as round or ellipsoidal to polygonal, whitish or ochraceous yellow lesions with a conspicuous dark brown border. Affected leaves become curled and withered up towards the edges and fall prematurely leaving much of the lower part of the stem defoliated (15, 97, 805). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia, Europe and North America (CMI Map No. 477, ed. 1, 1971). New records not mapped are: Asia (Kashmir, Pakistan). TRANSMISSION: Detailed studies have not been reported but conidia are presumed to be disseminated by rain-splash and wind blown water. The fungus could also be carried over in crop residues.

Abstract A description is provided for Cochliobolus australiensis. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Chloris, Cymbopogon, Cynodon, Hordeum, Lolium, Oryza, Panicum, Pennisetum, Saccharum, Triticum, Zea, on or isolated from a wide variety of dicotyledons, air, soil and plant debris. DISEASE: Leaf blight of citronella grass (61: 2332), leaf spot of bajra (pearl millet 47: 1862, 48: 1229) and seed-borne (55: 1788). The disease is associated with the anamorph. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Australia, Egypt, India, Iraq, Japan, Kenya, Libya, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Zimbabwe. TRANSMISSION: By infected seeds, and air-borne conidia.

Abstract A description is provided for Stemphylium lycopersici. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Lycopersicon most commonly but also found on Allium, Carthamus, Gladiolus and other plants. DISEASE: Stemphylium leaf blight of tomato, petal blight of carnation. The fungus forms necrotic lesions, closely resembling those of grey leaf spot (S. solani), on foliage and floral parts in which conidia are borne in later stages of infection. Relatively severe attacks have been recorded on chrysanthemum in Canada (41, 309; 46, 3384) and tomato in Israel (53, 2683). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia (Arabia, Israel, Malaysia (W. and Sarawak), India, Hong Kong, Yemen); Africa (Kenya); N. America (USA, Canada); S. America (Venezuela); Central America and W. Indies (Cuba); Australasia and Oceania (Tahiti). TRANSMISSION: By air-borne conidia. Conidia have been shown to survive in dried plant refuse for 4 months and in dried agar culture for 8 months (Hannon & Weber, 1955).

Abstract A description is provided for Cercosporella lindaviana. This species seems to be parasitic, with records on living leaves, sometimes causing leaf spot symptoms. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitats, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Asia (Armenia, Georgia), Europe (Finland, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Russia (Astrakhan oblast, Leningrad oblast), Slovenia, Sweden, Ukraine)) and hosts (including living and fading leaves of Vicia spp.). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.
