Importance and distribution

There are 49 Dimeriella epithets in Index Fungorum (2022), but many have been transferred to other genera such as Acanthostoma, Antennularia, Asterina, Dimerina meyeri-hermanni, Eudimeriolum, Lasiostemma, Perisporiopsis, Phaeocryptopus, Phaeodimeriella, Pyrenophora, Rasutoria, Wentiomyces and Zasmidium. Dimeriella comprises 25 species known on several host plants in Celastraceae, Asphodelaceae, Asteraceae, Boraginaceae, Cyatheaceae, Moraceae, Pinaceae, Poaceae, Sapindaceae and Zingiberaceae. Dimeriella has a worldwide distribution, common in Africa (Ghana, Guinea, Malawi), Asia (Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Philippines, Taiwan), Australia, North America (Caribbean (Barbados, Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago), The United States) and South America (Brazil, Venezuela).
