Importance and distribution
Although there are 16 Pringsheimia epithets in Index Fungorum (2022), three species have been transferred to Leptosphaerulina and Saccothecium. Pringsheimia comprises 13 species known on eleven host plants and nine plant families namely Cupressaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Oleaceae, Poaceae, Rubiaceae, Simaroubaceae, Solanaceae and Smilacaceae. Pringsheimia is reported mainly from Asia (India, Turkey) and Europe (France, Greece). It is a poorly studied genus and needs recollecting, epitypification and sequence data.
