Milesina sect. Scolopendriorum M. Scholler & Bubner sect. nov.

Type species.

M. scolopendrii (Fuckel) Jaap 1912.

This section is characterised by urediniospores having few scattered germ pores and an echinulate wall with smooth areas. Milesina feurichii , M. polypodii , M. magnusiana and M. murariae are in this section. M. magnusiana agrees well with the other species with respect to morphology. Therefore, we placed it in section Scolopendriorum , although no ITS data are available.
