Importance and distribution

Species of Cercosporiopsis are pathogenic and form leaf spots. According to Species Fungorum (2022), all species of Cercosporiopsis have been synonymized and transferred to other genera namely Cercospora, Nothopassalora, Passalora and Pseudocercospora. These synonymies are still doubtful and a revision of Cercosporiopsis is needed to clarify the generic placement. The type species of Cercosporiopsis, C. menispermi was found on leaves of Menispermum canadense in the United States (Iowa).
