Abstract
A survey was carried out in China on the species of Hirschmanniella occurring in association with rice (Oryza sativa). A total of 16 species were identified in the different provinces. They were morphometrically slightly different from the type populations. H. oryzae was prevalent and the most widespread. Hirschmanniella spp. constitute a major phytopathological problem of rice in China.
