N2 - The genus Pseudovirgaria, based on P. hyperparasitica, was recently introduced for a mycoparasite
of rust sori of various species of Frommeëlla, Pucciniastrum and Phragmidium in Korea. In the present
study, an older name introduced by Saccardo based on European material, Rhinotrichum griseum, is shown
to resemble P. hyperparasitica. Morphological study and ITS barcodes from fresh collections of R. griseum
from Austria on uredinia and telia of Phragmidium bulbosum on Rubus spp. reveal that it is distinct from P.
hyperparasitica. The status of the genus Rhinotrichum, introduced for a fungus occurring on dry wood, remains
unclear. Pseudovirgaria grisea comb. nov. is therefore proposed for the mycoparasite occurring on rust fungi in
Europe, and an epitype is designated from the recent collections.
