Type locality: Near Harrington Sound, Bermuda. 



Distribution: Known only from the type locality. 



The present species seems to differ from A. sarcobius Bond, in 

 the larger size of the spores and the difference in their markings. 

 Both species were collected in the same region. It is possible 

 that further field study will show the present species to be only 

 an extreme form of A. sarcobius. If so, the description and 

 illustrations of that species are incorrect.
