Asterina phlogacanthi Kar & Ghosh Introduction 1986. Indian Phytopathol. 39: 211. The first report of the genus Asterina in India dates back to On leaves of Phlogacanthus curviflorus, West Bengal. Asterina carbonacea Cooke and Asterina congesta Cooke known on coriaceous leaves and Santalum album, respectively, Asterina tertiae Racib. var. africana Doidge 1920. Trans. Royal Soc. South Africa 8: 264. from Belgaum, Karnataka (Cooke, 1984). Sir E.J. Butler in 1901 1996. Hosag., Balakr. & Goos, Mycotaxon 59: 183. has identified several collections with the help of H. Sydow 1994. Hosag.& Goos, Mycotaxon 52: 470. and P. Sydow (Sydow et al.,1911). Ryan (1928) studied some of 1996. Hosag. & Goos, Mycotaxon 60: 160. the Indian collections. Thirumalachar made collections of these On leaves of Rungia sisparensis, Diotacanthus albiflorus, Eranthemum capense, fungi from the Western Ghat regions of Karnataka (Hansford & Tamil Nadu. Thirumalachar, 1948). Kar & Maity (1970) and Kar & Ghosh (1986) contributed from West Bengal. Thite & Kulkarni (1976), Alangiaceae Patil & Thite (1977, 1978, 1981) contributed to this group from Asterina balii Sydow Maharashtra. Studies were carried out by Hosagoudar & Hanlin 1921. Ann. Mycol. 19: 308. On leaves of Alangium salvifolium (=Alangium lamarkii), Orissa. (1995), Hosagoudar & Goos (1994,1996), Hosagoudar et al. (1996a,b, 1998, 1999, 2001 a, b, c), Nair & Kaul (1987) from Tamil Asterina perpusilla Sydow Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. However, very little attention has 1916. Ann. Mycol. 14: 366. been paid to Andhra Pradesh (Venugopal Rao et al., 1989, On leaves of Alangium salvifolium, Uttar Pradesh. Hosagoudar & Mohanan, 1996). Except, the work of Doidge (1942) for South Africa, all other works on this group are either Asterostomella alangii Hosag. & Mohanan sporadic or fragmentary. Before attempting the revisionary work 1996. Indian J. Forestry 19: 371. on Asterinaceae of India, an attempt has been made here to On leaves of Alangium salvifolium, Andra Pradesh. provide a checklist of Asterinaceae members. Though, Anacardiaceae Hosagoudar in Hosagoudar et al. (2001d) has proposed the Asterina drimicarpi Kar & Maity family Lembosiaceae, the family Asterinaceae has been 1970. Trans. Brit. Mycol. Soc. 54: 435. considered here as Asterinaceae sensu Arx & Muller (1975). All On leaves of Drimycarpus racemosus, West Bengal.
