its appendage, in the possession of a penetrating rhizoid, and in 

 minor points. 



On Anthocoridae (Hemiptera). 



Stigmatomyces Lasiochili nov. sp. 



Very faintly tinged with greenish yellow, the basal cell and append- 

 age, only, somewhat suffused with smoky or purplish brown. Re- 

 ceptacle relatively short and tapering to the pointed foot, the basal 

 cell faintly tinged with purplish brown below, in contact distally with . 

 the secondary stalk-cell, and obliquely separated from the subtrian- 

 gular subbasal cell, which overlaps two thirds to three fourths of its 

 posterior margin. Stalk-cell of the appendage short, subtriangular, 

 slightly longer than its distal width, very slightly prominent below the 

 insertion. iVppendage rather slender, its axis consisting of normally 

 three cells, bearing three antheridia; the basal cell faintly brownish, 

 elongate, about as long as the rest of the appendage, including the 

 terminal spinose antheridium, somewhat inflated or nearly cylindrical, 

 bearing no antheridium; the rest of the appendage, including the 

 antheridia, more deeply colored, and separated by a horizontal dark 

 septum; the second and third cells subequal, obliquely separated, 

 externally slightly convex, each bearing a single antheridium distally: 

 antheridia nearly, free, the venter relatively small, the necks long, 

 stout, slightly divergent, hardly curved, directed inward or sidewise. 

 Stalk-cell of the perithecium similar to that of the appendage, or but 

 slightly larger, Iving beside and parallel to it, and extending to the 

 insertion; secondary stalk-cell nearly twice as large as the primary, 

 externally concave, lying beside it, and extending higher up: the 

 basal cells about as large as the primary stalk-cell, and but slightly, 

 if at all, enveloping the base of the ascigerous cavity. Perithecia, 

 relatively large; the venter becoming very slightly inflated, two or 

 three times as long as the short neck, which is but slightly narrower, 

 its margins somewhat concave, subtended by four rather distinct 

 terminal elevations of the wall cells: the tip broad, its margins con- 

 cave below, more clearly distinguished than the venter, and subtended 

 by more pronounced elevations; the apex minaret-shaped, subtended 

 by four blunt short divergent outgrowths; its bluntly pointed apex 

 apparently formed by the four similar, closely appressed lip-cell 

 terminations. Spores 40-45 X 3.5 /i. Perithecia 135-160 X 30-35 /i.
