SUMMARY
Phyllachora ? bambusina Speg., Schizothyrium bambusellum Rehm, and Kiehlia obscura Viégas are shown to represent one pyrenomycete species, which is named Kiehlia bambusina (Speg.) Farr var. bambusina. Lateropeltis bambusarum Shanor differs from Kiehlia bambusina only in certain measurements and is, therefore, renamed K. bambusina var. bambusarum (Shanor) Farr. The conidial stage of the latter variety is Shanoria bambusacearum (Sacc. & Syd.) Cicc. var. bambusacearum; the conidial stage of the typical variety is named Shanoria bambusacearum var. bambusae (Bat.) Farr. The nomenclatural and taxonomic justifications for these changes are presented.
