Astero/ibertia anisopterae (Sydow) Hansf. and A.
flabellariae (Sydow) Hansf. are known on
Anisoptera thursifera and F/abelliferia panicu/ata
from Philippines and Sierra Leone, respectively. A.
vateriae differs from A. anisopterae in not forming
polygonal meshes of hyphae, having smaller
thyriothecia and in causing pathogenic effect on the
host. It differs from A. fabelliferae in having
distinctly larger ascospores (Hansford, 1947, 1949).
Ascospores are smaller than A. hydnocarpi Hosag.
