Perithecia gregarious, minute (.16 mm.), clothed (except 

 the black apex) with a thin white tomentum, seated on a 

 thin snow-white, tomentose-arachnoid subiculum. Asci cyl-

 uniseriate, oblong, obtuse, hyaline, 5 to 6 x 2 ]«, with a single 

 nucleus in the centre (becoming uniseptate) ?

 in the color of the subiculum, the black apex of the peri- 

 thecia, the narrower asci, and rather longer sporidia. Pos- 

 sibly Neciria Rcxiana Ellis.
