Teratosphaeria Syd. & P. Syd. 1912

This genus of plant pathogenic fungi contains several important species infecting eucalypts, e.g. Teratosphaeria nubilosa. The resulting diseases include leaf spots, blotch and cankers.

The genus is closely related to the genus Mycosphaerella but shows several morphological differences like the ascospores become brown and verruculose while still in their asci, see Crous et al., 2007 for more details.
