Redaellia Ciferri, Arch. Protistenk. 71: 424-428, Fig. 3, 1930. 

 The type species is Redaellia elegans Ciferri. 



Fig-. 54. — Redaellia elegans Ciferri. (After Ciferri 1930.) 



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

 hyaline, septate, branched with many fusiform blastospores at the tips ; blasto- 

 spores germinating either by sprouting or by hyphae. 



Only a single species of doubtful pathogenicity has been referred here. 



Redaellia elegans Ciferri, Arch. Protistenk. 71: 424-428, Fig. 3, 1930. 



Isolated along with Epidermophyton ruhrum from a case of tinea axillaris 

 in Santo Domingo. 



Blastospores apical, 1-20/x, usually S-lOfx, on the top of a slightly inflated 

 cell, more or less fusiform. Ciferri states pyriform, but his drawings show 

 uniformly fusiform blastospores, 6-8 x 2.5-3^, which he was unable to germi- 

 nate in hanging drop; gelatin not liquefied, sugars not fermented (Fig. 54).
