Diaporthe eres

Cryptosphaeria corniculata sensu Greville; (1985) Cucurbitaria quercus (Fuckel) Sacc.

Sphaeria velata Pers., (1801) Valsa controversa (Desm.)

It causes canker disease in a wide variety of hosts.

[1] This species has a long history, having been described many times under various synonyms, for instance, the fungus was illustrated by James Sowerby in 1803 under the name Sphaeria ciliaris, attributed to Bulliard.

The name D. eres has been proposed for conservation in order to avoid bothersome name changes due to priority.
