Using stereo- and light microscopy, two leaf-spotting cercosporoid fungi, collected from areas of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest in the states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro, were shown to represent two new species (Pseudocercospora seropedicensis on Solanum asperum
and P. solani-cernui on S. cernuum), which are herein described and illustrated.
<p>For the first time, the genus <em>Hesperomyces</em> has been reported to infect <em>Coleomegilla maculata</em> in laboratory mass rearing in Brazil. Thalli were found growing on several parts of this ladybird species, including the head, elytra, legs, and abdomen. Infested adults died after 60 days.</p>
