Abstract
Mycosphaerella vespa sp nov. is described from diseased leaves of Euca lyptus from south-eastern Australia. It is associated with small, circ ular to irregular lesions that have red-brown margins and amphigenous pseudothecia. These characters, in combination with ascospore morpholo gy and germination, distinguish M. vespa from previously described spe cies of Mycosphaerella on eucalypt leaves. Lesions associated with thi s pathogen were often found to be harbouring wasps and this observatio n is discussed.
