Comments.

Following the new ICN, Hemileia smallii has priority even though the type specimen includes only the asexual stage of this species. Fernier (1954) described a name for the teleomorph using a different type specimen. Because he used the same epithet, that name is an illegitimate, later homonym. For this reason Gjaerum et al. (2000) established another name for this species based on a different type specimen that is here regarded as a taxonomic synonym.
