Hab. upon the nether side of the older leaves of Memecyhn 

 urdanetense Elm. } Cabadbaran (Mt. Urdaneta), Mindanao, Oc- 

 tober, 1912, No. 14114. 



This species comes very near to Meliola Mnngiferae Earle, 

 especially in the form and the size of the setae, but differs 

 chiefly by the smaller and narrower sporidia. 



Meliola araneosa Syd. nov. spec.

 latas saepe confluentes et totum folium occupantes efformante,

 nee truncatis; hyphopodiis mucronatis alternantibus vel oppositis, 

 lageniformibus vel subampulliformibus, 18 — 22 micro, longis, 

 rectis; setn mycelicis nullis; peritheciis laxe dispositis, glo- 

 bosis, 110 — 150 micro, diam. in sicco collapsis, contextu ex 

 cellulis 9—11 micro, longis composito, setulis paucis usque 100

Hab. on older leaves of Guioa microcarpa D0. 9 Cabadbaran 

 (Mt. Urdaneta), Mindanao, August, 1912, No. 13553. 



This species is most closely related to Meliola aciculosa 

 Wint., but differs by the quite globose capitate hyphopodia 

 which are nearly always sessile or provided with a very short, 

 hardly conspicuous stipe and by the more elongated not recurved 

 mucronate hyphopodia.
