CLASSIFICATION 739 



Germs: Stempellia Leger and Hesse, 1910. 



Each pansporoblast gives rise to one, two, four, or eight spores, which 

 vary in length from 2 to 6 microns. The smallest spores occur when eight 

 are formed, and the largest when there is only one. 



Genus : Duhoscqia Perez, 1908. 



Each pansporoblast gives rise to sixteen spores. 



Genus: Plistophora Gurley, 1893. 



Each pansporoblast gives rise to many spores (more than sixteen). 



(3) Family: coccoNEMiD^ Leger and Hesse, 1921. 

 The spores are spherical and resemble cocci. 



(Te«».s' .• Cocconema Leger and Hesse, 1921.

Genus : Mrazekia Leger and Hesse, 1916. 

 The spores are cylindrical, like bacilli. Each has an axial manubrium, 

 which can be extruded from one end of the spore. The polar filament is 

 attached to the end of the manubrium. Each pansporoblast gives rise to 



one or more spores. 



Genus: Octosporea Flu, 1911. 



The spores are slightly arched and cylindrical, like bacilli, but there is 

 no axial manubrium. Each pansporoblast gives rise to eight or sixteen 



spores. 



Genus: Toxonema Leger and Hesse, 1922. 



The spore is arched and resembles a vibrio. The ^pansporoblast gives 

 rise to eight spores. 



Genus: Spirillonema (=Spironema Leger and Hesse, 1922). 

 The spores are spiral and resemble spirilla. The pansporoblast gives 

 rise to eight spores. 



2. Sub-Order: Dicnidea Leger and Hesse, 1922. 

 The spore is oval in outline, and possesses two polar capsules, one 

 at each end of the spore. 



Family: telomyxid.b Leger and Hesse, 1910.
