Importance and distribution
There are 28 Cytoplea epithets in Index Fungorum (2022), but several species have been transferred to Aplosporella, Coniella, Coniothyrium, Cyclothyriella, Hypoderma and Phoma. Cytoplea has a wide host range on Acacia modesta (Fabaceae), Adenia sp. (Passifloraceae), Albizia julibrissin (Fabaceae), Arundo donax (Poaceae), Bambusa sp. (Poaceae), parasitic on Hypoxylon sp. (Hypoxylaceae), Mangifera indica (Anacardiaceae), Morus alba (Moraceae), Phoenix sp. (Arecaceae), Phragmites karka (Poaceae), Phyllostachys edulis (Poaceae), Poncirus trifoliata (Rutaceae), Viburnum grandiflorum (Adoxaceae), Wisteria sp. (Fabaceae) and Ziziphus sativa (Rhamnaceae). Cytoplea has been recorded from Asia (Armenia, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, Pakistan), Europe (France, Italy), Oceania (Papua New Guinea), South Africa and the United States (Pennsylvania).
