Abstract A description is provided for Arthrinium sphaerospermum, which is most frequently encountered as a saprobe on decaying leaves and stems of plants, but is also known to live as an endophyte, for example in stems of Eucalyptus, and in the phyllosphere, for example of Iris. This fungus has also been reported as the cause of poisoning through contamination of sugarcane and the causal agent of a dermatomycosis in humans. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitat, dispersal and transmission, economic impacts (positive and negative), and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (British Columbia, New Brunswick, Ontario), Mexico, USA (Georgia, Iowa, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas)), South America (Argentina, Uruguay), Asia (Armenia, China, India (Chhattisgarh, Meghalaya, Uttarakhand), Iran, Pakistan, Russia (Sakhalin Oblast), Uzbekistan), Europe (Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia (Leningrad Oblast), Switzerland, Ukraine, UK)).

Abstract A description is provided for Rhamphospora nymphaeae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Rhamphospora nymphaeae causes necrotic zones in leaves of affected plants. HOSTS: Nymphaea advena, N. alba, N. ampla, N. marliacea var. chromatella cult., N. marliacea var. rosea cult., N. odorata, N. reniformis, N. stellata, N. tetragoni and N. tuberosa (Nymphaeaceae). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Worldwide. NORTH AMERICA: Canada (British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Québec), USA (Connecticut, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Wisconsin). CENTRAL AMERICA: Costa Rica, Cuba. ASIA: China, India (West Bengal). AUSTRALASIA: New Zealand. EUROPE: Finland, France, Germany, Romania, Switzerland, UK (VÁNKY, 1994).
