Summary Mycosphaerella dearnessii , the causal agent of brown‐spot needle blight ( BSNB ), has been known to occur in A ustria since 1996. In 2011, the disease was for the first time confirmed on A ustrian pine ( P inus nigra var. nigra ) in this country. As previous records are doubtful, this may also be the first definite report of M . dearnessii on P . nigra in entire E urope.
