New records of cercosporoid hyphomycetes from Iran

Eight collections from different localities in the northern provinces of Iran were obtained during spring-summer 2010–11. Seven species on eight host plants were identified: Cercospora pantoleuca on Plantago lanceolata, Cercosporella primulae on Primula macrocalyx, C. virgaureae on Conyza bonariensis, Passalora bondartsevii on Medicago sp., Pseudocercospora danaicola on Danae racemosa, P. paraguayensis on Eucalyptus camaldulensis, and Scolecostigmina confluens on Crataegus melanocarpa and C. pseudomelanocarpa. These taxa are new records to Iran. Cercosporina danaicola is recombined as Pseudocercospora danaicola.
