LUZON, Ilocos Norte Province, Bangui, Bur. Sci. 277 U6 Ramos, February 

 25, 1917, on leaves of Celtis philippensis. 



This species appears to be closely related to Mcliola celtidiae but differs 

 from that species in the size and character of the spots and in the 

 rather short hooked setae.

Samar, Catubig River, Bur. Sci. 24616 Ramos, February-March, 1916, 

 on leaves of Celtis luzonensis. 



The long perithecial setae together with the tortuous mycelium and 

 the large, lobed, capitate hyphopodia are characteristic of this species. 

 It differs from Meliola celticola in the character and size of the colonies 

 and in the long straight setae.

 lula superiore globulosa, 10-12 p diam., inferiore 3-5 M longa; 

 hyphopodiis mucronatis paucis, ampulliformibus, usque ad 20 

 ft, longis; setis peritheciis ca. 4-5 ad basim quaque perithecium. 

 primitus subhyalinis apicis spiraliter curvatis dein erectis vel 

 leviter curvatis, ad basim geniculatis, atris, 100-130 p longis, 10 

 ft latis, apice acutis, simplicibus ; peritheciis globulis, atris, opacis, 

 tuberculatis, 120-180 p diam.; ascis ovatis, 4-sporis, 50-60 p
