646 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



mosely branched with phialides lageniform, 30-40/a long, bearing simple chains 

 of conidia with as many as twenty in a chain. Conidia snbspheric, apiculate 

 at the apex, smooth, 6-8/i, in diameter, delicately rosy avellaneous. 



Scopulariopsis sehnsuchta Froilano de Mello, Bull. Soc. Patli. Exot. 25: 

 295, 296, 1932. 



A saprophyte isolated from lesions produced by Ectotrichophyton men- 

 tagrophytes (Trichophytori asteroides). 



Hyphae hyaline, branched; 2.5-3/^, conidiophores septate, bearing- 2-8 

 phialides suggesting those of Paeciloniyces, 20-150 x 2.15-3;u,; metulae 5.5-7 x 

 1.5-2fi; phialides 3.5-11 x 1.5-3yu,; conidia smooth, brownish, slightly ovoid in 

 chains of 10-40 cells, 2-5/a in diameter or 4 x 2.5/x. Sclerotia 56-88 x 68-108/*; 

 coremia also present. 



On Czapek agar, colony velvety white, becoming chamois or golden yellow, 

 more or less zonate, amber guttulate, reverse yellowish; later the colony be- 

 comes chestnut to clear chocolate; reverse almost black. On potato, bread, 

 and liquid media, similar colors, sometimes with a slight heliotrope shade. 



Scopulaxiopsis Bertacini Redaelli in Bertacini, Giorn. Ital. Derm. Sifilol. 

 75: 783-828, PZs. 1-9, 1934. 



Isolated from a fatal case of blastomycosis originating in Brazil, showing 

 cutaneous ulcers mostly about mouth and neck with lesions in the lung, etc. 

 Pathogenic for laboratory animals. 



In tissues, cells 5-22/* mostly 10-12/a; primary mycelium 3.5-4/*; secondary 

 mycelium 1.5-3/*; chlamydospores intercalary 20-25/*; phialides erect, short, 

 clavate, tapering toward distal end, 4 x 6-10/*; conidia smooth spherical or 

 slightly ovoid, slightly brownish, 3.5-4/* in diameter in chains of 5-6 spores, 

 often only a single spore remaining attached. Some phialides are branched 

 from the middle of the club. 



On Sabouraud agar, colonies of compact yellowish white felt, glabrous, 

 margin grayish white, in old cultures becoming mammillate, color varying 

 from smoky gray to brownish, depending on substrate. On Pollacci agar, 

 colony round, glabrous, moist, shining Avith small verrucose center which be- 

 comes cerebriform, margin white. On liquid media, colony forms dense yellow 

 brown ring, grayish above, finally becoming a thick pellicle. 



The relationship of this organism is not altogether clear. The colony on 

 Pollacci agar suggests the imperfect Eremascaceae. 



Scopulariopsis Blochi (Matruchot) Vuillemin, Bull. Soc. Myc. Prance 27: 

 144-146, 1911. 



Mastigocladium Blochi Matnichot, C. R. Acad. Sci. 152: 325-327, 1911. 



Named for Bruno Bloch, who first isolated it [Arch. Derm. Syphilis 108: 

 ^n-512, Pis. 19-21,1911]. 



Isolated from a case of gummatous lymphangitis, clinically resembling 

 sporotrichosis. 



Mycelium 0.5-1.5/* in diameter, septate, little branched, tending to aggre- 

 gate. Conidiophores erect, simple, with broad base but with slight constric- 

 tion, 20-30/*, tapering as a long cone to a fine point, bearing, in a centripetal
