Tephrosticta Sacc. & Syd. was published in Ann. Myc. 2 (1904) 162 
as a subgenus for Teichosporella Negeriana Sacc. & Syd. We now believe 
that it is certainly worthy of generic rank, differing too much from Teichos- 
porella by the presence of a subiculum, by the collapsing perithecia, the 
lack of paraphyses, the growth on living or languishing leaves, etc. Teph- 
rosticta Sacc. & Syd. is accordingly raised herewith to the status of a 
genus. 
OPHIOBOLUS Riess 
OPHIOBOLUS SERIATUS Syd. sp. nov. 
Peritheciis aggregatis vel saepius bene seriatis, matrice 
inflatula diu omnino tectis, e mutua pressione irregularibus, 
atris, 300 ad 450 /* diam., glabris, levibus, ostiolo matricem 
inflatulam vix punctiformi-perforante; ascis cylindraceo-clavatis, 
brevissime stipitatis, apice rotundatis vel leniter attenuatis, 90

1913. On dead culms of Bambusa, 
The species is similar in habit to Ophiobolus javanicus Penz. & Sacc, but 
differs especially by its much longer asci and sporidia.

Luzon, Manila, Merrill S 55, October 7, 1912. On dead sheathing bases 
of leaves of Pandanus tectorius. 
In Hedwigia 47 (1908) 263, Hennings has described a Sphaeropsis 
Pandani on leaves of Pandanus laevis from Davao, Mindanao. We have 
examined Hennings* original material, and have found that it contains 
two different fungi, both Ascomycetes, namely Linospora Pandani Syd. 
and Anthostomella calocarpa Syd. Hennings, when describing the above- 
mentioned Sphaeropsis, overlooked the asci. Such a fungus as Hennings
