Type: Foliicolous Fungi; Description: Conidiomata stromatic, acervular, scattered to gregarious, often confluent, subcuticular, partly erumpent later and rupturing the cuticle, oval to circular, brown to dark brown to black, 0.1–0.7 mm in diameter; on roughly circular, brown to purple leaf spots up to 5 mm in diameter but often coalescing and forming large patches on both surfaces of leaves; also found on spots on shoots and fruit. Conidia cruciform, made up of four cells; basal cell globose to short cylindrical, 6–12 × 4–7 μm; apical cell globose, 7–15 × 7–9 μm; lateral cells globose to subcylindrical, 3–7 × 3–5 μm; apical and each lateral cell with a single, tubular, flexuous appendage 3–18 μm long; all cells smooth, hyaline to subhyaline.

Distribution: Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Wanganui, Nelson, Buller, Mid Canterbury, Dunedin.; 1st Record: Kirk (1894: as Entomosporium maculatum).

Significance: The cause of a disease known as ‘Fabraea scald’ from Fabraea maculata, an earlier name for the teleomorph. It causes considerable loss of Cydonia oblonga (quince) fruit (Atkinson 1971).; Host(s): Crataegus monogyna, Cydonia oblonga, Eriobotrya japonica, Mespilus germanica, Photinia glabra, Pyrus communis, P. pyrifolia, Rhaphiolepis ×delacourii; R. indica.
