abstract = {Teleomorph of Erysiphe takamatsui, a powdery mildew of lotus, was found in 2012 at a lotus pond of Niigata-city, Japan, where this species was first found in 1974. This is the second record of teleomorph of E. takamatsui. Morphological and molecular analyses revealed that the asexual stage of the lotus powdery mildews found in Nagoya, Osaka and Tokyo are anamorph of E. takamatsui. The nucleotide sequences of ITS and 28S rRNA gene was identical to those of E. aquilegiae, E. catalpae, and E. macleayae. These species formed a homogeneous clade with E. sedi, Pseudoidium neolycopersici, and Pseudoidium spp. occurring on a wide range of plant families with only five base substitutions of ITS sequences in maximum. These results suggest that E. takamatsui is a fungus that appeared as a result of recent host expansion.}
