Abstract

Macchiatiella rhamni tarani (Nevsky, 1928) is reported from China for the first time from specimens collected on the undersides of leaves of Polygonum L. in north‑western China. A new record of M. rhamni tarani in China further confirms Rhamnus L. as a secondary host. A brief description, key characteristics figures, ecological photographs, and a distribution map are provided.
