Eucantharomyces Madagascarensis nov. sp. 



Rather pale straw-colored. Perithecium large, subcylindrical, taper- 

 ing very slightly distally and basally, the rounded tip rather abruptly 

 distinguished, and subtended by more or less distinct elevations ; the 

 inner lip-cell short, prominently rounded, but not extending beyond the 

 other lip-cells and rendering the apex subsymmetrical ; the base not dif- 

 ferentiated from the body of the receptacle, the cells relatively short, not 

 extending down beside the stalk-cell, from which they are rather clearly 

 distinguished : stalk-cell elongate, tapering below. Basal and subbasal 

 cells of the receptacle of about equal length, the former about half as 

 broad as the latter, and extending to the base of the stalk-cell of the 

 perithecium. Basal cell of the appendage somewhat larger than the 

 subbasal, slightly overlapping the subbasal cell of the receptacle, the mar- 

 ginal cell not prominent below the discharge tube which is curved out- 

 ward, sometimes horizontally ; the antheridial cells in three rows of seven, 

 seven, and five cells respectively. Spores about 60 X 4 p. Perithecium, 

 including basal cells, 385 X 60-70/;, the stalk-cell 275-290x40-55//. 

 Receptacle 165 X 35-45//. Antheridium, total length 130-150 X 30-35//, 

 above basal cell 75 u. 



On elytra of Callida sp., Madagascar; Hope Collection, No. 273. 



Chitonomyces dentiferus nov. sp. 



Pale straw-colored. Receptacle nearly straight, the foot large, the 

 basal cell about twice as long as broad, but slightly broader distal!} 7 , the 

 subbasal cell broader than long, distinguished above and below by a more 

 or less distinct constriction, the lower marginal cell longer than the next 

 above it, the terminal cell subcylindrical with broadly rounded apex bent 

 slightly inward. Perithecium distally curved inward above a suberect, 

 tooth-like, unicellular appendage, which is curved slightly outward, and 

 originates above a rounded more deeply colored prominence, which sub- 

 tends it and lies nearly opposite the extremity of the distal appendiculate 

 cell of the receptacle, which it about equals in length. The tip of the 

 perithecium tapering (somewhat as in C. appendiculatus), the lip-cells 

 slender and somewhat elongate, with rounded extremities. Total length 

 to tip of perithecium 90-110 X 18-20//. Perithecium about 65 X 18 //. 

 Basal portion of receptacle about 35//. Spores about 28 X 3 //. 



On the margin of the left elytron of Laccophilus sp., near the base, 

 Lake Eustis, Eustis, Florida.
