Parauncinula is a genus of fungi in the family Erysiphaceae. [1] It is the earliest-diverging genus of powdery mildews and contains only four species [2] , which were formerly classified in Uncinula . All of these species are endemic to East Asia and infect trees of the Fagaceae. [3]

Taxonomy

Parauncinula species were formerly assigned to Uncinula (Erysiphe), but due to the isolated position of these species at the base of the Erysiphaceae cluster they were placed in a separate genus by Takamatsu et al. (2005). [3]
