ASPERGILLACEAE 651 



singly, but never in typical phialides, smooth and hyaline at first, then cream 

 yellow, verrucose, 5-6/a in diameter. 



On peptone and peptone glucose agar, colony circular moist, cream gray, 

 with radial folds, then producing numerous cervine coremia, becoming dull, 

 dry with concentric rings of velvet, and finally powdery. 



From the foregoing brief description it is evident that the species is not 

 closely related to Scopidariopsis but is probably closely related to some of the 

 species of Zymovema, although Kawatsure's Fig. 6 Bh with its verrucose 

 eonidia is suggestive of Hemispora. As the description is based on four strains, 

 which show some differences in pathogenicity and no reference is given to the 

 case histories, it is not possible to place this organism definitely.

PHAEOSCOPULARIOPSIS 



Phaeoscopulariopsis Ota, Jap. Jour. Derm. Urol. 28: 4: [7], 1928. 

 Characters of Scopulariopsis, but spores brown to black, producing chains 

 of spores on phialides.

Found in axillary hair in Sassari. 



Colony on glucose agar black, verrucose, with lanuginous margin. Hyphae 

 sterile, sparsely septate, hyaline, and slender, with pale ochraceous and thicker 

 tips, 4-6/i, in diameter. Conidiophores short, sparingly septate, olivaceous, 4-12/x 

 long. Conidia spherical, smooth, eatenulate or glomerate, brown, 4-5//, in di- 

 ameter. 



Phaeoscopulariopsis Bestae (Pollacci) Ota, Jap. Jour. Derm. Urol. 28: 

 4:[7], 1928.

Isolated from subcutaneous abscesses in a patient suffering also from high 

 fever, gastrointestinal disturbances, and bronchopulmonary trouble. On lanc- 

 ing, the lesions produced bloody, purulent matter. Similar smaller foci of in- 

 fection developed. Trichosporium Mantegazzae also isolated from the same 

 lesions. 



Sterile hyphae repent, branched, filiform, pale at first then rosy or pale 

 avellaneous, 5-6.5/x in diameter. Conidiophores short, septate, scarcely distinct 

 from sterile hyphae, 6-20/x, long, apex rounded. Mature conidia spherical, 

 smooth, rose colored at first, then avellaneous, 8-IO/1, in diameter, shortly 

 eatenulate.
