Family 76. DEMATIACEAE 



Hyphae dark or black, cobwebby, loose, usually rigid, not cohering in definite 

 fascicles ; conidia typically dark and concolorous, but sometimes the hyphae are 

 dark and conidia clear, or the conidia dark and the hyphae clear. This family is 

 parallel with the Moniliaceae and certain intermediate forms must be sought in 

 both places. 



Amerosporae 



2:235, 10:569, 11:610, 14:1068, 16:1059, 18:563 



Conidia dark, or sometimes hyaline but the hyphae then dark, 1 -celled, globose to 



oblong. 



Micronemeae 



Hyphae very short or scarcely different from the conidia. 



I. Conidia not in chains 



1. Conidia globose to elliptic 



a. Sterile hyphae nearly obsolete Coniosporium 4:238 



b. Sterile hyphae elongate Cordelia 10:586 



2. Conidia elongate, usually fusoid Fusella 4:246 



II. Conidia in chains 



1. Conidia of two sorts, larger catenate, smaller glomerate 



Heterobotrys 4:267 



2. Conidia all alike
