| Abstract: | Four fungi belonging to the genus Pseudocercospora were collected from Ohshima Island, which has commonly been called Izu-ohshima, Tokyo. Among them, two on Helwingia japonica and on Stachyurus praecox var. matsuzakii are recognized as new species, and named P. izuohshimensis and P. hachijokibushi, respectively. Styrax japonica var. jippei-kawamurae was newly added to the host list of P. fukuokaensis. Presence of P. myrticola in Japan was reconfirmed in examining a fresh diseased material on Myrtus communis. |
