26 THAXTER. 



Tettigomyces galeatus nov. sp. 



Quite hyaline. Receptacle broader distally, often much narrower 

 toward the base, both margins usually even, consisting of from six to 

 ten superposed flattened cells, followed by from three to six tiers of 

 two cells each; those on the perithecial side smaller, and becoming 

 divided radially and longitudinally, so that there are actually three 

 cells in each tier. Appendage consisting of from six to nine cells, 

 much flattened, and forming an erect, or usually but slightly divergent 

 series; the terminal cell bearing two simple branches, two or three 

 of the cells immediately below also bearing single simple stout tapering 

 branches, usually absent from the remaining lower cells, from which 

 double or single series of antheridial cells are separated on the inner 

 side so as to form a more or less well defined antheridial cushion. Peri- 

 thecium relatively large and stout, distinctly inflated below, when 

 mature; tapering at first abruptly, then hardly perceptibly to the 

 broad short tip which is well defined by an abrupt indentation of the 

 margin on the outer, and a slight indentation followed by a slight 

 elevation, on the inner side; the inner lip-cell forming a broad bluntly 

 rounded terminal projection with small lumen, extending some distance 

 beyond the pore which is lateral and external; the lateral lip-cells 

 forming small papillae symmetrically placed on either side, and the 

 outer lip-cell forming a similar, often less distinct subtending papilla, 

 the whole tip having thus a somewhat galeate hal)it. Perithecia 

 190-225 X 55-75 /x. Receptacle 100-140 X 60-SO m- Total length 

 to tip of perithecium 250-400 /x. 



On the inferior surface of abdomen of Gryllotalpa Africana Palis. 

 Samarang, Java. 



This species occurred somewhat rarely in the material examined. 

 It is easily distinguished from its nearest ally T. confusus by its galeate 

 tip and sul^erect appendage, which also differs in the absence of 

 branches near its base. 



Tettigomyces confusus nov. sp. 



Receptacle slightly broader distally, or nearly the same diameter 

 throughout ; consisting of from six to ten cells superposed in a single 

 series, followed by from two to five tiers of two cells each; those on the 

 perithecial side smaller, and usually divided in a radial vertical plane
