Importance and distribution
There are 99 Teratosphaeria records in Index Fungorum (2022), but many have been transferred to other genera such as Acidomyces, Amycosphaerella, Austroafricana, Batcheloromyces, Mycosphaerella, Neodevriesia, Neotrimmatostroma, Parateratosphaeria, Readeriella, Suberoteratosphaeria and Xenoteratosphaeria. Teratosphaeria comprises 36 species known on nine different host plants in Amaryllidaceae and Myrtaceae. Teratosphaeria is reported from Australia and South Africa.
