They want to release Colletotrichum salsolae. Glomerella cingulata's teleomorph is Colletotrichum gloeosporioides - different species. Since it's the Ag. Research Service that's interested, the first thing they'd test on are Ag. species.

Also, hopefully the dual-naming of fungi by anamorph/teleomorph will go away some day. It's really weird to refer to a species by two separate taxonomical names.
