Pyrenopeziza plantaginisnew to North America

[摘要] Pyrenopeziza plantaginis is reported from leaves ofPlantago lanceolata from remnant native prairie sites in Benton Co., Oregon which harbor the endangered Taylor's checkerspot. The butterfly usesP. lanceolata as a pre-diapause larval host. The fungus is associated with a leaf blight ofP. lanceolata and may impair restoration of populations of Taylor's checkerspot.
