"Coelomomyces dodgei as first understood (Couch, 1945 [b]) included 

 resting sporangia with pits and narrow bands, with only pits, and with 

 wide bands. . . .[It] has been found that these three sporangia! types are 



constant and rather strictly limited as to host [The] form with pits 



and narrow bands occurring on An[opheles] crucians is herein retained 

 as C. dodgei emend., the form with only pits, restricted almost exclu- 

 sively to An[opheles] quadrimaculatus, and the form with wide bands, 

 occurring on An[opheles] crucians, are described as new species." (Couch 

 and Dodge, op. cit.).

Hyphae much as in C [oelomomyces] dodgei, 4-10 \x thick; resting 

 bodies oval, in cross-sectional view usually rounded, rarely flattened on 

 one side, with wide, very distinct, longitudinal bands on one side and 

 irregular or transverse bands on the other, very rarely with a few pits; 

 longitudinal bands five to eight on a side, bands 4-6.3 u, wide; the 

 preformed longitudinal groove of dehiscence between the two median 

 longitudinal bands; 29-35 by 40-58 u,, rarely 36 ■ 77 jjl, averaging 

 32 by 48 u,; wall 1.5-4 u. thick, consisting of the outer, brownish layer 

 with ridges 2-3 fx thick and the inner, smooth, pale or hyaline layer, 

 about 1-2 u, thick; zoospores as in C. dodgei. x

Occurring on the same host (Anopheles crucians) as Coelomomyces 

 dodgei, with which it was at first included.
