In this paper, there are described two new localities (Malý Horeš, Malý Kamenec) of the fungus Tilletia controversa Kühn on dog’s grass (Elytrigia Desv.). Visual symptoms of attacked plants, the results of valuation of morphological and ecophysiological characteristics of its chlamydospores are presented. The both localities are situated in the southern part of Eastern Slovakia lowlands, which belongs to the warmest regions in Czechoslovakia. The fungus was recorded on Elytrigia repens (L.) Desv. and on E. intermedia (Host) Nevski subsp. intermedia and subsp. trichophora (Link.) Á. Love et D. Love. The determined characteristics of fungus populations in both localities are compared with characteristics of other fungus populations and with the population of the fungus T. caries (DC.) Tul.
