Hyalopsora nodispora is the new holomorph name for Uredo capilli-veneris (Uredinales, Pucciniastraceae) from Pakistan

Hyalopsora sp. was collected on Adiantum capillus-veneris in the Himalayan moist temperate forest of Pakistan. The uredinial state of the fungus tallied with Uredo capilli-veneris is previously described from the same host plant. The new name H. nodispora is proposed for the holomorph. A key to rust species on Adiantum is presented based on the original description of species.
