Importance and distribution

Lecideopsella species are epiphytic and can damage the host plants by penetrating host cells for the uptake of nutrients (Ariyawansa et al. 2015; Hongsanan et al. 2014, 2015). They may reduce photosynthetic rate by forming hyphal cover on the host parts (Chomnunti et al. 2014; Hongsanan et al. 2015). Lecideopsella comprises four species known on seven host plants within Anacardiaceae, Annonaceae, Apocynaceae, Arecaceae, Connaraceae, Oleaceae and Phyllanthaceae. Lecideopsella has been reported from Africa (Uganda), Asia (India, Philippines) and Caribbean (Trinidad-Tobago).
