282 A MANUAL OF THE ASPERGILLI 



Certain large-spored species of doubtful validity and relationship have 

 been described that are believed to represent members of the A. ochraceus 

 series. Although obviously rare, these species were described with suf- 

 ficiently distinctive characters to warrant their retention. With continued 

 search, it is possible that they may be reisolated. 



Aspergillus delacroixii (Sacc.) Thorn and Church, in The 

 Aspergilli, p. 190. 192G. 



Synonym: S. ochracea Delacroix, in Bull. Soc. Myc. France 7: 109, 

 PI. VII, fig. f. 1891. (Delacroix failed to recognize the 

 previous use of the specific name.) 

 S. delacroixii Sacc, in Sacc. 10: 527. 



This species is reported as having conidiophores pale yellow and rough, 

 500 to 1000m in length; vesicle globose, thick-walled, punctate, yellow; 

 sterigmata in two series, primary 39/x by 12m, secondary (from Delacroix's 

 figures) about 8 to 10m by 2 to 3m; conidia globose, finely roughened, 7 to 8m 

 in diameter. The yellow and roughened conidiophores ally this species with 

 the A. ochraceus groups hence would justify the description, if a form with 

 such large conidia should be found again. Otherwise, it is possible that 

 some old material of a strain of A. oryzae might have furnished the type. 



Aspergillus butyracea (Bainier) n. comb. 



Synonym: S. butyracea Bainier, in Bull. Soc. Bot. France 27: 29. 1880. 



Specimen attributed to Bainier in C. Roumeguere's Fungi 



Gallici Exsiccati No. 995. 



This is described as a large-spored strain belonging in this group. The 

 specimen showed a black Aspergillus, as well as an ochraceous form with 

 spores up to about 6m and rough. Colonies butter yellow, including 

 conidiophores, heads, and conidia; conidiophores yellow, in mounts finely 

 punctate or pitted, 13 to 16m in diameter; sterigmata primary up to 25m, 

 secondary 10 to 12m in length; conidia described as smooth 5.2m, but those 

 found in the material were rough and up to 6.3m- It is entirely possible 

 that this species may be found again, but is has not been reported since 

 Bainier described it. 



A. penicillopsis (Henngs.) Racib., P. Hennings Synonym Stilbothamnium 

 penicUlopsis P. Henn. and E. Nym. described in Fungi Monsunenses 

 (Warburg. O. Monsunia, Bd. I, p. 37. 1900. Leipzig); exsiccati of 

 type in Pathological Collections, U. S. Dept. Agr. Bureau of Plant In- 

 dustry, as: Raciborski no. 87, in Crypt. Parasiticae Java. 



This material shows an Aspergillus with the color and general appearance 

 of .4. ochraceus but of gigantic proportions. Measurements as follows:
