Abstract
A checklist of cercosporoid fungi reported from Himachal Pradesh, India, has been prepared on the basis of available publications. A total of 103 species belonging to 15 genera of cercosporoid fungi have been reported from Himachal Pradesh on 118 plant species belonging to 46 families. The species richness of cercosporoid fungi in the region was as follows; Cercospora (50), Pseudocercospora (23), Ramularia and Passalora (7 each), Stigmina & Mycosphaerella (3 each), Sirosporium (2), Cercosporella, Distomycovellosiella and Mycovellosiella, Neocercosporidium, Neopseudocercosporella, Nothopassalora, Rosisphaerella & Teratosphaeria (1 each). The highest numbers of cercosporoid fungi were recorded on plant hosts of the family Solanaceae (12 species) followed by Fabaceae (10 species), Asteraceae and Rosaceae (8 species each), Amaranthaceae (5 species), Malvaceae and Smilaceae (4 species each), Acanthaceae, Poaceae, Polygonaceae and Ranunculaceae (3 species each), while the rest of families were found associated with 1–2 cercosporoid speices.
