Scopulariopsis cinereus Weill & Gauclin, Arch. Med. Exp. 28: 458-460, 

 1919. 



Found on infected toenails, which crumble into white layers with some 

 yellower parts. 



Mycelium and conidia brown in age. Conidia have a truncate base and 

 pointed disjunctor, which is slightly longer than broad, 2.5-3 x 4-5/a. Coremia 

 sometimes present. Chlamydospores up to lOO/t, mostly terminal, sometimes 

 intercalary. Perithecia develop in about 3 weeks at 25° C. They are spheri- 

 cal, surrounded by radiating mycelium, taking a full month longer to mature. 

 Asci ovoid, 10-12 x 8fi, 8-spored, early diffluent. Ascogonium soon surrounded 

 by other hyphae which make up the pseudoparenchymatous wall of the peri- 

 thecium. Ascospores brown, planoconvex, 3-3.5 x 6-7/a. Optimum tempera- 

 ture 25° C. 



Grows on usual Penicillium media and on sterilized toenails. Colonies at 

 first white, then ashy, mouse-gray, becoming brown green in age. On Sabouraud 

 maltose, in Erlenmeyer flask, after 16 days, colony attains 3 cm. in diameter, is 

 white, radiating, granular with a large central prominence. Green circle near 

 the periphery and outside it a white circle which remains white. 



Scopulariopsis Koningi (Oudemans) Vuillemin, Bull. Soc. Myc. France 

 27: 143, 1911. 



Monilia Koningi Oudemans, Arch. Neerl. Sci. Exact. Nat. II, 7: 287, PI. 21, 

 1902. 



Scopulariopsis rufulus Bainier, Bull. Soc. Myc. France 23 : 105, PL 12, 1907. 



Vuillemin (1911) thinks this a synonym of Penicillium hrevicaule Saccardo 

 as does also Biourge (1923), excluding Scopulariopsis rufulus Bainier, also 

 Weill & Gaudin, 1919. 



Jannin (1912) isolated this from a gumma on the hand. Raymond & 

 Parisot, 1916, isolated this organism from a number of cases of trench foot 

 and gave a brief account of the lesions following experimental inoculations. 

 Liegard, 1925, found it in ulcerated human eye. Originally obtained by 

 Koning from humus or leaf mold in Holland. 



Koning describes his organism as follows : Colonies on soil extract gelatin 

 orbicular, subzonate, rosy avellaneous; hyphae all hyaline, 4-5/a in diameter, 

 septate. Creeping hyphae dichotomously branched, ascending hyphae race-
