Abstract: The sphacelium states of Claviceps africana and C. fusiformis, fungi associated with the sugarydisease of sorghum and the agalactia of sows, respectively, are described and illustrated. Besides Sorghumbicolor (sorghum), S. halepense (Johnson grass) and Dichanthium aristatum (Angleton grass) are parasitizedby C. africana. The epidemiological importance of the Johnson grass and Angleton grass, as possibleinoculum reservoirs in sorghum fields, is discussed. Claviceps fusiformis was found on Cenchrus ciliaris(buffel grass), its expected host. For the anmorphs of Claviceps spp. reported to Mexico so far, a key isprovided.
