Because the Cryphonectriaceae are important tree pathogens, continued surveys are needed for these fungi. Surveys in the past three years in southern Africa have led to the discovery of cankers with fruiting structures resembling those of the Cryphonectriaceae on trees in the Myrtales in Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland and Zambia. These fungi were identified using morphological characteristics and DNA sequence data. For the first time, we report Chrysoporthe austroafricana from Namibia and on Syzygium guineense and Holocryphia eucalypti in Swaziland on a Eucalyptus grandis clone. The host and geographic ranges of Celoporthe dispersa were expanded to include S. legatti in South Africa and S. guineense in Zambia. In addition, a monotypic genus, Latruncellus aurorae gen. sp. nov., was described from Galpinia transvaalica (Lythraceae, Myrtales) in Swaziland. The present, and other recent studies, clearly emphasizes the limited understanding of the true diversity and distribution of fungi in the Cryphonectriaceae in Africa.} }
