The biotrophic species of Phyllachoraceae associated with the angiosperm family Erythroxylaceae are examined, and five new species and one new subspecies proposed. Five species of Phyllachora are accepted, including the four undescribed taxa P. occultans from Mexico, P. usteriana subsp. piliformis and P. reticulata from Brazil, and P. tanensis from Madagascar. The new genus Fremitomyces is introduced for two undescribed species from East Africa and the Seychelles, which have initially brightly coloured stromata.
