Importance and distribution

There are 47 Myriangium epithets in Index Fungorum (2022), but some species have been transferred to other genera such as Angatia, Elsinoe, Molleriella, Myriangiella, Myriangiopsis and Uleomyces. Myriangium has been reported from a wide range of hosts in Apocynaceae, Combretaceae, Ericaceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, Rhamnaceae, Rubiaceae and Rutaceae. Myriangium has a wide distribution including Asia (India), Australia (Victoria) and South America (Argentina, Brazil). Even though, high diversity exists in Myriangium, molecular data is lacking, and new species must be established based on molecular data.
