Notes.

Aplosporella javeedii was first discovered on Celtis africana and Searsia lancea in South Africa ( Jami et al. 2014). Fan et al. (2015), Zhu et al. (2018), and Pan et al. (2019) expanded the host range of Aplosporella javeedii to more than ten host families in China. This species has not been reported outside South Africa and China.
