and scalariform; tubes formed almost wholly by the male gametangia; 

 fertile cells inllatcd toward the center to 29-42/^; zygospores ellipsoid, 

 22-32M X 50-71 m; median spore wall yellow-brown, smooth. (PI. 

 XXXV, Figs. 9-10.) 



Austria; Czechoslovakia; China, Szechwan; South Africa. 



Neither the description nor the figure of S. austriaca Czurda 1932 

 clearly separates it from this species.
