The very dark-coloured conjugating filaments and the form of 

 the zygospores characterise this species. S. arcta (Ag.) Kiitz , to 

 which No. 193 was refeired by Welwitsch, is a much smaller plant 

 with but one chromatophore, and the conjugating filaments are not 

 dark-coloured.

This species approaches S. decimina (Miill.) Kiitz. (to which 

 Welwitsch had referred it) and -.S. neglecta (Hass.) Kiitz. ; it differs 

 from the former in its much greater thickness, shorter cells, and
