Importance and distribution
Ragnhildiana comprises six species known from eight host plants and five plant families namely Asteraceae, Caryophyllaceae, Juglandaceae, Ranunculaceae and Vitaceae. Ragnhildiana was reported from Asia (Thailand, Turkmenistan), Europe (Germany, New York) and the United States (Texas). Species of Ragnhildiana species are pathogenic causing brown leaf spots. They are responsible for losses in pecan orchards and other ornamental crops (Poletto et al. 2020).
