EREMASCACEAE IMPERFECTAE 203 



Ota defines Blastodendrion as producing a mycelium of elongate cells with dendroid 

 masses of blastospores (Sprossbciwme of Lindner). 



Langeron & Talice describe it as follows: Colony creamy, thin, beginning from the 

 germination of a thick-walled blastospore, forming a dendroid mass by sprouting, either 

 bipolar or multiple, rarely cruciate; blastospores polymorphous, the lacrimiform or pyriform 

 type predominating; pseudomycelium more or less developed, little branched, less easily dis- 

 sociable than in related genera, forming dendroid masses with ascending branches parallel 

 or suggesting the branching of sporophores in Penicillium, cells mostly elongate, pyriform, 

 hyphae terminated by a chain of lacrimiform blastospores or by a long slender filament; 

 verticils occasionally present, formed of lacrimiform blastospores. 



REDAELLIA 



Bedaellia Ciferri, Arch. Protistenk. 71: 424-428, Fig. 3, 1930; Brunetto, Ciferri & 

 Eedaelli, Atti 1st. Bot. E. Univ. Pavia IV, 5: 125-143, 8 figs, 1934. 



Type species Bedaellia elegans. 



Colony growth slow, elevated, small, cerebriform, irregularly convoluted, hyphae hyaline, 

 septate, branched with many fusiform blastospores in tufts at the tips. Blastospores germinat- 

 ing either by sprouting or by hyphae (Fig. 41). 



SCHIZOBLASTOSPORION 



Schizohlastosporion Ciferri, Arch. Protistenk. 71: 446-448, Fig. 6, 1930. 



The type species is Torula A Starkey & Henrici (Schisoblastosporion Starlceyi-Henricii 

 Cif.). 



Starkey & Henrici described their organism as cells variable, predominantly elongated 

 ellipsoid. Eeproduction intermediate between fission and sprouting, as in Saccharomy codes. 

 Cells with numerous small fat globules which increase in numbers but do not coalesce in old 

 cells. Agar colonies smooth, white. In glucose broth, turbidity and sediment. No fermenta- 

 tion of any sugars. 



Ciferri adds: slight incomplete ring, margins of colony smooth, blastospores spherical, 

 5m in diameter, to ellipsoid, 5-7 x 2-3/^; mycelial cells elongate, cylindric, 5.5-7.5 x 10-15/*, 

 rarely to 22ai. 



MYCOTORULOIDES 



Mycotoniloides Langeron & Talice, Ann. Parasitol. Hum. Comp. 10: 48-54, 1932. 



The type species is Mycotoruloides triadis Langeron So Talice. 



Colonies creamy, thick, convex, beginning Ijy bipolar sprouting of a blastospore followed 

 by progressive branching of the pseudomycelium. Blastospores spherical or ovoid, arranged 

 in verticils, arising at the apical portion of the pseudomycelial cells, no terminal chains of 

 cells. Pseudomycelium formed of short cells, each cell often producing a verticil of blasto- 

 spores at its apex. The verticils are less regularly spaced than in Syringospora and are 

 usually compound, producing an ovoid mass of blastospores whose long axis is more or less 

 perpendicular to the main axis of the pseudomycelium. Some branches develop much more 

 than others, giving an irregular appearance. Occasionally a branch grows out and is 

 terminated by short chains from its terminal verticil. Gelatin not Liquefied. 



MYCOCANDIDA 



Mycocandida Langeron & Talice, Ann. Parasitol. Hum. Comp. 10: 56-58, 1932. 

 The type species is Candida mortifera Eedaelli. 



Colonies creamy, sometimes thick, more often thin, fiat, iridescent, transparent at first, 

 then forming a glacis, sometimes coremia present, beginning by bipolar sprouting, blasto-
