Treatment

Pleurophragmium harunganae Hansf. , Mycol. Pap. 15: 211. 1946.

Typus.

UGANDA • Entebbe Road , on sori of Hemileia on leaves of Harungana madagascariensis ; C. G. Hansford 2803, 3013 .

Notes.

The species is parasitic on the sori of Hemileia (Pucciniales) . It was described as having dematiaceous conidiophores with a terminal denticulate rachis, accompanied by additional, disconnected fertile regions along the conidiophore axis. Conidia are aseptate, curved, fusiform, and subhyaline to pale olivaceous. Based on these features, the species appears more consistent with morphologically similar genera such as Ramichloridium or Myrmecridium , pending recollection and the acquisition of molecular data to confirm its placement.
