Conidia in mass salmonto <strong>or</strong>ange.Material examined: New Zealand, Nelson, from bitter rot on fruit of Malus domestica,1 Aug. 1987, P.R. Johnston, (<strong>CBS</strong> H-20725 holotype, culture ex-type <strong>CBS</strong> 128530= ICMP 12921 = PRJ 1199.3).Notes: Bitter rot has been considered an economically signficantdisease of apple f<strong>or</strong> many years (Schrenk & Spaulding 1903b), andwas initially ascribed to Gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ium fructigenum (Berkeley 1856).However, Berkeley’s type was examined by Vinnere (2004) andfound to have falcate conidia, thus excluding it from the C. acutatum<strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong>. Currently, bitter rot is known to be caused primarilyby fungi from the C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides <strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong> (González et al.2006); that study focused on strains from the USA and Brazil, and wedo not know whether their C. acutatum s. lat. strains are conspecificwith C. acerbum. Those of Lee et al. (2007) from K<strong>or</strong>ea are referableto C. acutatum clades 2 (C. nymphaeae and related <strong>species</strong>) and3 (C. fi<strong>or</strong>iniae), so the host certainly appears susceptible to a widerange of <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> pathogens.The ex-type strain of C. acerbum is the only strain we includedin our study that represents C. acutatum group B as delineated byLardner et al. (1999). It may be common on Malus in New Zealand,but Lardner et al. (1999) found that m<strong>or</strong>e strains from fruit rot ofapple, as well as from feijoa and fig, belonged to group C and hadsimilar RAPD banding patterns (Lardner et al. 1999). It is possiblethat their group C includes m<strong>or</strong>e than one <strong>species</strong>. The GAPDHsequence of strain PJ9 (= PRJ 819 in Lardner et al. 1999), whichwas isolated from apple in New Zealand and was sequenced byGuerber et al. (2003), is identical to that of <strong>CBS</strong> 128530, the extypestrain of C. acerbum.<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> acerbum is distinguishable from C. rhombif<strong>or</strong>meand all other <strong>species</strong> in all gene sequences analysed except f<strong>or</strong>CHS-1, and is most effectively distinguished with TUB2 and ITS.In m<strong>or</strong>phological terms its conidia are longer and the appress<strong>or</strong>iaare sh<strong>or</strong>ter and wider than those of C. rhombif<strong>or</strong>me. Based onour studies and blastn searches in GenBank, it seems that C.acerbum could be endemic to New Zealand. The closest matchbased on TUB2 sequence that we could find (with 99 % identity, 5bp differences) was AJ748624 from isolate PT250 (= <strong>CBS</strong> 129953),derived from olive in P<strong>or</strong>tugal (Talhinhas et al. 2005), whichwe assign to C. rhombif<strong>or</strong>me. The closest matches f<strong>or</strong> the ITS54
