The type species is Pucciniosira triumfettae Lagerh., 1892 which is now Pucciniosira pallidula.[5]
The Pucciniosira species are characterized by having Puccinia-like teliospores that are produced in chains alternately with intercalary cells. The sori have a continuous to rudimentary peridium (protective layer). In some species, the teliospores break easily into halves along their septa.[6] They form circular groups of rust spores on the lower surfaces of the leaves of various species of plants (including solanum species).[7]
The genus name of Pucciniosira is in honour of Tommaso Puccini (1666-1735), who was an Italian botanist and doctor. He taught Anatomy at Hospital of Santa Maria Nuova in Florence.[8]
The species of this genus are found in America (including north America,[9][10] Ecuador,[7] Honduras,[11] Guatemala,[12] Panama,[13] and Mexico,[14]) and Africa (including Nigeria,[15]) ,[2] as well as New Zealand,[16] and Australia (Gold Coast).[17]
In Veracruz within Mexico, species Pucciniosira pallidula (Speg.) Henn. (1896) infects Heliocarpus donnellsmithii Rose.[14] Pucciniosira pallidula was also found on Triumfetta semitriloba Jacq. in Florida, USA.[9]
In Panama, species Pucciniosira dorata is found on Triumfetta bogotensis (in Malvaceae family)[13]
Pucciniosira holwayi H.S. Jacks. (1932) is found on Solanum laxiflorum (a synonym of Solanum barbeyanum[18]) in Brazil. As well as Pucciniosira hyphoperidiata Viégas (1945) which is found on various solanum species. Pucciniosira solani Lagerh. ex Sacc. (1895) causes yellow leaf rust on solanum species in Brazil and Ecuador.[7]
