Abstract
The autoecious macrocyclic life cycle of Nothoravenelia japonica on Flueggea suffruticosa was clarified by inoculations. The morphology of each stage is described based on specimens obtained from inoculations. The description of the genus is also emended. Phylogenetic analyses showed that this rust fungus is closely related to one group of Phakopsora, but far from a second group. Therefore, it is suggested that the genus Phakopsora should be divided into two genera. The second group is treated as new genus Neophysopella based on morphological and phylogenetical similarities and host relations. Nine new combinations of Neophysopella are proposed.
