Abstract The sooty mould Acrogenotheca elegans (Fraser) Ciferri and Batista (=-Capno-dium elegans Fraser), described originally from Australia, is very common in New Zealand; the species is illustrated and redescribed. The fungus produces pycnidia and perithecia on branched upright hyphae: the branches may secede readily. Acrogenotheca pulcherrima Batista and Ciferri described from Cuba, Oedemium robustum Berkeley from New Zealand, and Antennaria heteracantha Spegazzini from Brazil, are regarded as synonyms. The fungus is also recorded from Auckland Islands, New Caledonia, Juan Fernandez, Colombia, Patagonia, Ceylon, New Guinea, and Java.
