Pucciniosira cornuta was discovered on Berberis nepaulensis at Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. The fungus is characterized by narrow columnar, peridiate telia composed of catenulate, two-celled teliospores. This paper describes detailed sorus and spore morphology of this fungus, that were not previously reported, and lists published records of the hosts and geographic distribution. （Japanese Journal of Mycology 62: 31－34, 2021）
