Importance and distribution
There are 22 Eudimeriolum epithets in Index Fungorum (2022), but several species have been transferred to Epipolaeum, Episphaerella, Phaeocryptopus and Zasmidium. Eudimeriolum comprises 16 species known on nine host plants in Apocynaceae, Betulaceae, Celastraceae, Lauraceae, Malvaceae, Poaceae and Primulaceae. Eudimeriolum has been reported from Australia, Europe (Georgia), North America (Caribbean (Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico), The United States), South Africa and South America (Argentina, Brazil). Epitypification of this genus should be considered.
