Description
Summary:A worldwide survey of cercosporoid ascomycete species on hosts of the genus Diospyros (persimmon) with key to the species based on characters in vivo is provided. Special emphasis is placed on species of the genus Pseudocercospora , which are in part also phylogenetically analysed, using a multilocus approach. Species of the latter genus proved to be very diverse, with a remarkable degree of cryptic speciation. Seven new species are described ( Pseudocercospora diospyri-japonicae , P. diospyriphila , P. ershadii , P. kakiicola , P. kobayashiana , and P. tesselata ), and two new names are introduced [ P. kakiigena (≡ Cylindrosporium kaki , non Pseudocercospora kaki ), and Zasmidium diospyri-hispidae (≡ Passalora diospyri , non Zasmidium diospyri )]. Six taxa are lectotypified ( Cercospora atra , C. diospyri , C. diospyri var. ferruginea , C. flexuosa , C. fuliginosa , C. kaki ), and Pseudocercospora kaki is epitypified.
