Abstract
A black mildew disease caused by Meliola aspidospermatis (Meliolales) was observed on leaves of the neotropical forest species Aspidosperma polyneuron in a commercial nursery in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This is the first record of this fungus in Brazil, previously known only from Argentina.
