Abstrakt: In recent decades, commercial Eucalyptus plantations have expanded toward the warm and humid regions of northern and northeastern Brazil, where Calonectria leaf blight (CLB) has become the primary fungal leaf disease of this crop. CLB can be caused by different Calonectria species, and previous studies have indicated that Calonectria might have high species diversity in Brazil. During a disease survey conducted in three commercial plantations of Eucalyptus in northeastern Brazil, diseased leaves from Eucalyptus trees with typical symptoms of CLB were collected, and Calonectria fungi were isolated. Based on phylogenetic analyses of six gene regions ( ac t, cmdA , his3 , rpb2 , tef1 , and tub2 ) and morphological characteristics, two new species of Calonectria were identified. Five isolates were named as C.paragominensis sp. nov. and four were named as C.imperata sp. nov. The pathogenicity to Eucalyptus of both species was confirmed by fulfilling the Koch's postulates.
