NEW INDO-MALAYAN LABOULBENIALES. 37 



developed and clearly defined; the region somewhat narrower than 

 the base of the venter from which it is well distinguished ; the body of 

 the perithecium rather short and stout, slightly and subsymmetrically 

 inflated; the tip hardly distinguished, short, blunt-pointed, slightly 

 asymmetrical. Perithecia 60-70 X 23-25 m, the stalk 20^0 n. 

 Appendage including stalk-cell 30-38 /x. x\ntheridial series about 

 28 /i. Receptacle 35-40 ii. Total length to tip of perithecium 100- 



120 m- 



On a small mahogany brown scydmaenid, No. 1419: Java (Rouyer). 



The antheridia in this species are somewhat more persistent than 

 in the type, although they seem to disappear as soon as they have 

 functioned. In the present instance two groups are present in at 

 least one of the specimens, which seem to be coherent and when sepa- 

 rated each series closely resembles the antheridial branchlet of the 

 Rhadiuomyccs-type of the genus Corethroinyccs; although it seems 

 doubtful that there is any close relationship between the two. The 

 eflPerent necks are short or obsolete. 



Cryptandromyces subgaleatus nov. sp. 



Hyaline. Basal and subbasal cells not differing greatly in size, 

 somewhat variably related, the latter united to the stalk-cell of the 

 appendage, which is similar. Appendage consisting of a rather long 

 and slender axis curved toward the perithecium, near the base of which 

 may arise an antheridial branchlet of three seriate antheridial cells; 

 a similar branchlet sometimes terminating the main axis, or arising 

 from the stalk-cell of the appendage. Stalk-cell of the appendage 

 relatively long and slender, al)ruptly distinguished from the base of 

 the perithecium, the cells of which are clearly defined and subequal; 

 the region abruptly broader than the stalk-cell, and somewhat nar- 

 rower than the venter above; which is slightly inflated, and tapers 

 distally to the relatively very broad tip, which is of about the same 

 diameter throughout; the apex slightly broader and subgaleate, 

 slightly oblique inwardly, with a small projection. Perithecium 86 X 

 20 Mj including basal cell region (10 /x), the stalk-cell 25 X 8 m- Ap- 

 pendage to 215 X 8 M, the antheridial branchlet 30 /x. Receptacle 

 about 20 X 10 /x- Total length to tip of perithecium 125 /x.
