Abstract The genus Phyllöachora in
New
Zealand is briefly reviewed. One new Phyllachora species is
described from Myrsine, with three subspecies: P. hauturu
subsp. hauturu on Myrsine australis, P. hauturu subsp.
lanceshawii on M. divaricata, and P. hauturu
subsp. rekohu on Myrsine chathamica. Another species is
introduced for a fungus from Rostkovia magellanica: P.
rostkoviae. Phyllachora manuka is proposed as a nom. nov.
for Phomatospora leptospermi Hansf. (non Phyllachora
leptospermi (Cooke) Höhn.). Phyllachora colensoi
(Berk.) Sacc. is considered a synonym of Diplochorella melicyti
(Syd. & P. Syd.) Syd. & P. Syd., with the new combination Diplochorella
colensoi proposed.
