Urocystis rytzii (Massenot) Müller was found in Czechoslovakia in the High Tatras near the Velické pleso lake. It is the first record of this smut fungus in the Carpathians, previously known only from two sites in the Swiss Alps. The author provides a description of the fungus from the High Tatras, including features observed via scanning electron microscopy, and compares the three known collections biometrically. He also discusses the distribution of the host plant Avenula versicolor (Vill.) Lainz.
