Epidermophyton plurizoniforme MacCarthy, Ann. Derm. Syphiligr. VI, 

 6: 81-37, PL 2, 1925. 



Sahouraudites plurizoniformis Brumpt, Precis Parasitol. ed. 4, 1291, 1927. 



Isolated from eczema of feet and palms of Irishwoman in France, also 

 reported from Sao Paulo, Brazil. 



Mycelium with aleurospores 3-4 x Ijx, compound thyrses large; clostero- 

 spores 10-30/* long, 3-12 septate ; ehlamydospores 10-15/x. 



In 40 days, colonies zonate, white, velvety, 4 cm., with central umbo the 

 size of a petit pois, intermediate zone 1.5 cm., purple red, velvet scarcely 

 visible, fine, margin of fine radiating hyphae ; radial furrows about 20 ; reverse 

 red brown. In 75 days, central zone rosy white 5 cm. — purple ring 0.5 cm. — 

 rosy white 2 cm. — purple ring 1 cm. — rosy white 1 cm. — red zone 1 cm. — 

 yellowish margin 1 cm. ; reverse entirely purple except outer 2 cm. ; pleo- 

 morphism appears on sixty-fifth day. 



On Sabouraud conservation agar in 25 days, central tuft snow white, with 

 an area one-third the whole, also white, surrounding it ; outer zone yellowish. 

 After the twenty-fifth day, the outer zone begins to turn red and in 4-5 days, 

 whole colony is purple red ; after 2 weeks becoming black violet. On potato, 

 after 60 days, white center and purple red margin, pigment diffusing along 

 the potato about 1 cm. 



Epidermophyton lanoroseum MacCarthy, Ann. Derm, Syphiligr. VI, 6: 

 49-53, PI. 6, 1925. 



Trichophyton ruhidimi Ota (1931) pro parte. 



Isolated from a case of generalized epidermomycosis reported by Montlaur 

 & Dumet, Premier Cong. Derm. Syphiligr. Lang. Frang. 38-40, 1922 as being 

 caused by E. rubrum. Lesions developed during the patient's return from 

 Portuguese Guinea. 



Aleurospores small, pyriform, compound thyrses rare ; long closterospores 

 uni- or pluriseptate. 



On forty-fifth day, surface woolly with about 8 radial furrows, central 

 zone 2 cm., white, depressed at center surrounded by a rose ring 1 cm. — white 

 ring 2 cm. — rose purple ring, not velvety 0.5 cm.; margin 1 cm. yellowish 

 white; reverse concolorous; no pleomorphism in 7 months. On Sabouraud 

 conservation agar, colony similar but growth slower, hence fewer zones, no 

 increase in diameter after 30 days; reverse red brown. 



Epidermophjrton salmonemn Froilano de Mello, C. R. Soc. Biol. 84: 239, 

 240, 1921. 



Isolated from inguinal lesions, large, hard, almost coriaceous papules with 

 wine red center and lighter toward the periphery, very pruriginous, exuding 

 a viscous fluid with a peculiar odor. 



Closterospores present and variable. 



On Sabouraud glucose agar on eighth day, colony dry, colorless, more or 

 less glistening, center rounded elevation, margin with divergent radiations.
