Abstract

A new species of Stagonospora, S. intertrappea has been described from the Deccan Intertrappean beds of Madhya Pradesh, India. The genus Stagonospora is for the first time recorded from the Indian Tertiary deposits. The present species of the fungus has been compared with the fossil fungi known from the Intertrappean beds and also with the extant species of Stagonospora.
