704 THAXTER. 



Appendage 50-55 ju. Receptacle including foot 30-35 X 16 ^x. Total 

 length to tip of peritheciura 175-210 //. 



On various parts, especially the legs, of Lasiochilus paUidus Reut., 

 a small bug belonging to the Anthocoridae. No. 2771, Grand Etang, 

 Grenada. 



The host of this species, which was kindly determined for me by 

 Mr. Van Duzee, is the first hemipterous host reported for this genus. 

 The species is allied to S. vircsccns and S. Coccinelloides, but diifers 

 widely from either of them. Abundant material was obtained at the 

 Grand Etang where the host is very common.

Stigmatomyces Coccinelloides nov. sp. 



Hyaline or faintly yellowish. Basal cell of the receptacle straight, 

 more than twice as long as broad, the subbasal very small, externally 

 convex, twice as broad as long, obliquely separated from the basal, 

 the narrower convex distal end of which is in contact with the stalk- 

 cell of the appendage; which is about as broad as long, and in equal 

 contact with the basal and subbasal cells, and with the stalk-cell of the 

 perithecium; not at all prominent below the insertion of the ap- 

 pendage: which consists of three or four successively slightly shorter 

 axis-cells of about equal width; the third, or all above the basal cell, 

 bearing usually single antheridia, two to four or five in all, one of them 

 terminal and spinose on its inner side; all the antheridia free, or nearly 

 so, their long slender necks slightly curved outward. Stalk-cell of 

 the perithecium short, somewhat shorter than the secondary stalk- 

 cell, the two superposed and forming a short, constricted stalk to the 

 perithecium; the basal cells forming the walls of the lower portion 

 of the venter: venter, neck and tip not at all distinguished, and 

 forming a rather long stout body, its inner margin nearly straight, its 

 outer somewhat convex, the junctions of its wall-cells hardly indicated; 

 the apex abruptly narrower, short, relatively broad and somewhat 

 spreading when viewed anteriorly or posteriorly; the lip-cells growing 

 out into tooth-like projections, the lateral ones shorter, similar, 

 symmetrical, somewhat spreading, subtended on the inner side by a 

 vesicular outgrowth; the outer and inner closely appressed, and form- 

 ing together a somewhat longer tooth-like projection, median in 

 position, and bent slightly inward, the outer member somewhat
