Abstract: During a survey and study of black mildew in the Western Ghat’s forests of Malabar Wildlife Sanctuary in Kerala State, the plant Vateria indica (Dipterocarpaceae) was seen to be infected with black mildew causing ectoparasitic foliicolous fungus. A microscopic study of this fungus revealed that it belongs to the Lembosiaceae family. Based on the non-appressoriate mycelia with peculiar nutritional hyphae (haustoria) surrounding the stomata and elongated thyriothecia with longitudinal dehiscence, the present collection has been placed under a new genus Marthomamyces. Based on the morphological characters, it was revealed that the fungus infecting leaves of Vateria indica (Dipterocarpaceae) is Marthomamyces vateriae nom. nov. et stat. nov. Lini K. Mathew, Jacob Thomas and Neeta N. Nair. Echidnodella vateriae Hosag. and Kamar is the synonym of this species.
