Abstract
A new species of smut fungus, Tilletia dichelachnes, is described from New Zealand. The teliospores of this species are very large and comparable in size to only four other species of Tilletia. Tilletia dichelachnes infects the flowers of an indigenous grass,
Dichelachne crinita and is the first Tilletia species known on the genus.
