ABSTRACT
The morphological, distributional and host range data of the species of the largest Harpellales genera, Stachylina and Smittium, published up to mid 2010 are consolidated from the available literature, including species that occur in India. Keys for identifi cation of the species of the two genera are provided, and the need for having a uniform pattern for describing a species and, where possible, integrating the molecular data of a species with that of its morphology has been emphasized for future studies.
