The present species was found in association with Asterina jambolanae Kar &amp; Maity (1970:438), but differs in having unicellular appressoria instead of the bicellular ones. Asterina myrtacearum is similar to Asterina gopalakrishnanii Nair &amp; Kaul (1987:1071), A. lanceolatae Patil, Bhise &amp; Patil (2014:81) and A. claviflori Kar &amp; Maity (1970:441) known on Syzygium spp. in having unicellular appressoria, however, it differs in having dense epiphyllous colonies with distinctly flexuous to crooked mycelium; larger size of appressoria, thyriothecia and ascospores; as well as distinctly smooth walled ascospores in contrast to spiny and verrucose walled in A. gopalakrishnanii and A. claviflori. Comparisons between the new species and its morphologically similar species are shown in Table 1.</p> <p>Sr. Morpho- Asterina claviflori Asterina Asterina lanceolatae Asterina myrtacearum</p> <p>No. taxonomic gopalakrishnanii sp.nov.</p> <p>characters</p> <p>1.

R., HCIO 51674.</p> <p>Notes: About 12 species of Lembosia have been described on host species of Syzygium and Eugenia (Song and Hosagoudar 2003, Far and Rossman 2014). The literature survey revealed that, the present species is close to Lembosia hosagoudarii Sivan. &amp; R. G. Shivas (2002:163); L. syzygii Sivan. &amp; R.G. Shivas (2002:160) and L. syzygiicola (Hansf. 1944:115) Deighton (1978:518), known on the host species of Syzygium from India, Australia and Uganda respectively (Song and Hosagoudar 2003, Hosagoudar 2012, Far and Rossman 2014). However, the new species differs from the related species in having larger appressoria mostly opposite and distantly arranged in groups of 3 to 4 pairs, larger ascospores which are slightly constricted at septum and smooth-walled (Table 2). Lembosia mahabaleshwarensis can be easily distinguished by arrangement of appressoria and larger, smooth walled ascospores.</p> <p>This species is associated with Asteridiella syzygii Hansf. (1957:50) and Asterina jambolanae Kar &amp; Maity.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D587E7E62B707DFF4EFC306004F7A3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
