The data about representatives of the genus Cercidospora in Ukraine, their descriptions, ecology and distribution in Ukraine are provided. This genus is characterized by greenish-blue to brown pseudothecia walls and hyaline ascospores. Two species of the genus are for the first time reported for Ukraine: Cercidospora lobothalliae, characterized by aseptate ascospores and growth on thallus of Lobothallia radiosa, and Cercidospora solearispora with 1-septate ascospores, upper cell much larger than the lower one, and growth on thallus of epilithic species of Aspicilia s. l. A key to the species of the genus Cercospora in Ukraine, including species which can be found in the country, is given.

Keywords: lichenicolous fungi, Cercidospora, Ukraine
