The first report of Libertella spp. on Fagaceae in Slovakia

Abstract

There were no published data about the occurrence of Libertella species in Slovakia. Three Libertella species, L. faginea on Fagus sylvatica, L. betulina on Betula pendula, and L. quercina on Castanea sativa, are described here. Morphological observations with descriptions of other Libertella species growing on Fagaceae were compared, and possible conspicuity with any of the known species is discussed.
