ASPERGILLACEAE 649 



Organism grows on Raulin maltose agar, potato, acid potato, glycerol 

 potato, carrot, Sabouraud nutrient gelatin, Raulin 's solution with sugars. No 

 growth on egg albumen or coagulated beef serum, hence the latter not lique- 

 fied. Milk not coagulated in 40 days. Gelatin liquefied in 6 days. 



Scopulariopsis brevicaulis (Saccardo) Bainier, var. hominis Brumpt & 

 Langeron apud Brumpt, Precis Parasitol. ed. 2, 902-905, 1913. 



Penicillium hrevicaule Saccardo, var. hominis Brumpt & Langeron apud 

 Brumpt, Precis Parasitol. ed. 1, 838-840, 1910. 



Isolated from onychomycosis. In nails, mycelium septate, 2-10/a in diam- 

 eter; chlamydospores both terminal and intercalary, lO-30/i,. Weil & Gaudin 

 (1919) report conidia in the nails. The parasitized portions of the nails are 

 a dull yellow brown. 



Hyphae on the surface of medium in tufts, aggregated, also in ropes ; 

 conidia cafe-au-lait, ornate, spherical to citriform. 



Colonies on potato glycerol, sweet potato, carrot, Sabouraud 's glucose 

 and maltose agars, velvety. 



Scopulariopsis venerei Greco, Origine des Tumeurs. 709-717, PL 21, Figs. 

 437-440, 1916. 



Isolated from cases of venereal granuloma. 



Mycelium abundant, septate, 2-5/x in diameter; chlamydospores ( ?) present; 

 conidiophores short, 10-20/* long, arranged on main hyphae to give a verticillate 

 appearance ; phialides slightly conical or blunt ; conidia 5-8 x 4/i with thick, 

 outer wall spherical or citriform, with the surface showing yellowish refractive 

 drops that give a rugose appearance. 



Colonies slightly yellowish grayish chestnut to chestnut, with yellowish 

 radiate spots, spreading, with whitish gray ropes at the center and in striae, 

 margin light gray. 



Scopulariopsis lingualis Neto & Martins, C. R. Soc. Biol. 106: 1179-1181, 

 1931. 



Isolated from lesions on human tongue, case not described here. 



Mycelium slender, unbranched, septate, sometimes branching dichoto- 

 mously at the tips. Conidiophores either simple, often reduced to a single 

 conidium, or branched, each branch producing a single conidium. Conidia 

 1-2/x in diameter, spherical or ovoid. 



On serum glucose, growth appears on third day, 1 cm. in diameter, on 

 the eighth, irregular, velvety, rugose, slightly brownish. Same on carrot and 

 maltose serum. On potato, growth slow and not characteristic. On Gorod- 

 kova agar, small colony, 3-4 mm. in diameter, yellowish, irregular, surface 

 rugose apiculate, no tendency to spread over the surface. On gelatin, growth 

 very slow, slight whitish membrane on twentieth day, no liquefaction. In 

 Raulin 's liquid, clear flocculent precipitate.
