The present study analyzed the composition, species diversity, and altitudinal distribution
of rust fungi (Uredinales) collected in the Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, Brazil.
Results were compared with other Atlantic Forest locations, the São Paulo Cerrado
and some other tropical regions. The Uredinales collections were made over the
course of two years, covering the states of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais, from
500 to 2600m above the sea level. The Uredinales Biota is composed of 38 genera
(32 teleomorphs and 6 anamorphs) and 207 species, 178 of which were teleomorphic
and 29 anamorphic. The genera Puccinia, Uromyces and Phakopsora contained a
high number of species (58% combined). A hundred and ninety-two hosts belonging
to 63 botanical families were recorded. The rust/host ratio for ten of the richest
families in number of species was 1:8. A high similarity (50%) was found between
two altitudinal ranges. The results provide a strong additional argument for the need
to preserve and continue studies in such areas
