SACCHAROMYCETACEAE IMPERFECTAE 357 



MIOROBLASTOSPORION 



Micr'ohlastosporion Ciferri, Arch. Protistenk. 71: 420-424, 1930. 



The type species is Torula hotryoidea Chaborski. 



Sprout cells separate early from parent cell by wall, no polarity, no my- 

 celium. 



Grown only on media used to secure spore production. Colony radially 

 striate, lobed. In liquid media, no pellicle, slight ring and sediment, gelatin 

 liquefied. 



TRIGONOPSIS 



Trigonopsis Schachner, Zeits. f. d. ges. Brauwesen 52: 137, 1929. 



The type species is Trigonopsis variabilis Schachner. 



Cells partly ellipsoid, partly appearing triangular, occasionally suggest- 

 ing a crescent with rounded ends. Islets, a thin ring and sediment in liquid 

 cultures ; no fermentation, no liquefaction of gelatin. 



Excluded Genera 



Schizotorulopsis Ciferri, Arch. Protistenk. 71: 431-435, 1930. 



The type, Schizotorulopsis Alfonsecai Ciferri, Arch. Protistenk. 71: 431- 

 435, 1930, was shown by Verkaik (1931) to be a culture of Bacilhis mega- 

 therium Bary. 



As the following species have been so poorly described or even proposed 

 as nomina nuda, they should be dropped until more adequate descriptions 

 are available.
