Abstract

The fungus associated with mango scab in Queensland has been compared with the type collection of Sphaceloma mangiferae, and found to be conspecific with that taxon. Morphological characteristics indicate that it is placed incorrectly in Sphaceloma, and the new combination Denticularia mangferae is proposed. Pathogenicity to mango leaves has been demonstrated with a culture isolated from mango in Queensland, and with inoculum taken directly from sporulating leaf lesions
