Guignardia is an important genus to plant pathologists especially as G. bidwellii as the name for black rot of grapevine. I think that this decision needs to be discussed as it will be very upsetting to many plant pathologists to change this name.
In addition, Phyllosticta has been used for species that are extremely diverse.
