Abstract

Two new species of Casinaria Holmgren, C. camura sp. nov. and C. scalaris sp. nov. and the first record of C. kriechbaumeri (Costa) are recorded from Mongolia. Venturia aquila sp. nov. is described from Ghana. The previously unknown female of V. crassicaput (Morley), an Afrotropical species, is described here for the first time. First records of Venturia anatolica Horstmann from Romania and V. canescens (Gravenhorst) from Mongolia are reported, and an identification key to the Western Palaearctic species of Venturia Schrottky is provided.
