Comments.

Uredo aureospora 1960 has priority but it cannot be moved to Hemileia because that name already exists in the genus. For this reason the next oldest name Hemileia aureospora is the accepted scientific name for this species of which Uredo aureospora is a taxonomic synonym. Although the name Hemileia aureospora was previously considered to be not validly published because the type specimen lacked teliospores and thus violated Article 59 of the now outdated International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) ( Stafleu et al. 1972), the new ICN allows this name to be used.
