Is this an alien species in Europe?
If yes, we would need some scientific expertise in order to include it (taxonomic position, status, first record, synonyms, distribution, pathway, impacts, etc)

Pseudocercospora griseola is the causal agent of angular leaf spot of common bean (ALS). It
has undergone parallel coevolution with its host and two major groups have been defined, ‘‘Andean’’(P. griseola f. griseola) and ‘‘Mesoamerican’’(P. griseola f. mesoamericana). Is a major threat in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. ( Mario C. N. Saparrat Æ Geraldine E. Fermoselle Æ
