Abstract During survey for the foliicolous fungi from diversified habitats of Bahraich (U.P.) India the authors came across an important crop for the locality Zea mays Linn. which belongs to Poaceae the grass family is commonly called as zea, corn, silk corn, makka, barajowar. It is most widly distributed world’s crop with short lifecycle which requires warm weather, appropriate apprension and management It is a valuable livestock feed, as a human food and raw material for several industries. On critical study of maize plants, we found the living leaves to be infected with Alternaria, Curvularia and Drechslera sp. On critical morphotaxonomic study it was found to be new species and the same taxon has been described and illustrated as plurivorus hyphomycetus fungi Alternaria ziamaydis sp. nov.; dematiaceous hyphomycetous fungi Culvularia zeae sp nov. and Drechslera indiana sp nov. The review of available literatures reveals that there has been no record of these fungus from India on this host so far. Therefore, this host for the three new species is a new record to Indian mycoflora from Bahraich (U.P) India.
