NEW INDO-MALAYAX LABOULBENIALES. 27 



SO that each tier becomes three-celled. Appendage not distinguished 

 from the receptacle, consisting of usually six successively smaller cells; 

 the series somewhat curved outward, and bearing irregularly paired 

 simple, stout, tapering branches from the inner side; the basal cells 

 of which, above the base of the perithecium, produce more or less con- 

 spicuous groups of antheridial cells. Perithecium relatively short and 

 stout, sometimes shorter than the receptacle, more or less evenly 

 inflated below at maturity, tapering evenly to the tip, which is short, 

 stout, and barely distinguished: the inner lip-cell prolonged to form 

 a short blunt appendage; two, which are outer or lateral, ending in 

 rounded prominences somewhat variably placed, forming two more 

 or less distinct papillae lying side by side; the fourth forming a pointed 

 apex which subtends the prolongation of the fu'st; wall-cells variably, 

 usually conspicuously prominent, those in the outer rows twenty to 

 twenty-four, in the inner eighteen to twenty in number. Perithecia 

 120-200 X 40-60 m- Appendage 40 m; its branches 100 X 20 ^ at 

 base. Receptacle 80-175 X 32-50 m- Total length to tip of perithe- 

 cium 230-390 M- 



On abdominal ' antennae ' of Gryllotalpa Africana Palis. Samarang, 

 Java. 



This species is very closely allied to T. galcafus, but is at once dis- 

 tinguished by the conformation of the tip of the perithecium which 

 does not vary essentially in any of the numerous individuals examined. 



Tettigomyces brevis nov. sp. 



Nearly colorless. Receptacle short and broad, the foot large and 

 broad; consisting of from three to seven single superposed much 

 flattened cells, followed by from one to three cells once longitudinally 

 divided, this biseriate portion continuous with the appendage on one 

 side and the base of the perithecium on the other. Appendage not 

 distinguished from the receptacle, consisting of a series of from five 

 to eight much flattened successively smaller cells which curves out- 

 ward, or may be even recurved somewhat; all the cells bearing rather 

 stout erect or somewhat curved septate tapering branches of variable 

 length, which arise more or less in pairs from basal cells associated 

 with numerous antheridial cells which are more or less distinctly \isible 

 as a rule. Perithecia variably elongated, the base slightly broader, 

 tapering, usually very slightly, to the short stout tip; which is moder- 

 ately well distinguished; the apex broad, slightly asymmetrical.
