5. Hapalopilus fulvitinctus (B. & C.) 
Polyporus fulvitinctus B. & C. Jour. Linn. Soc. Bot. 10: 313. 
1868. 
This species was collected on dead wood in Cuba by Wright. 
It differs from HY. gi/vus chiefly in having smaller and more 
rounded spores and paler substance; while in surface characters 
and consistency the two species are much alike. I know of no 
collections of the plant except those at Kew, and our knowledge 
of its habits and distribution is most meagre. 
6. Hapalopilus hispidulus (B. & C.) 
Polyporus hispidulus B. & C. Jour. Linn. Soc. Bot. 10: 319. 1868. 
Collected on decayed wood in Cuba by Wright. Known only 
from the rather scanty type collections at Kew. Pileus reddish- 
brown, finely hispid except near the margin, context brown, hy- 
menium brownish-gray, spores ovoid, smooth, hyaline, 3 x 3.5 4, 
immature, hyphae very pale ferruginous. 
SPECIES INQUIRENDAE 
Polyporus crocatus Fr. Epicr. 477. 1836-1838. Described 
from Leibman’s Mexican collections. Transferred to Polystictus 
in Novae Symbolae, 91.1851. Probably a form of P. dicnoides 
Mont. I hesitate to reduce P. /icnoides to synonymy, however, 
without further investigation. 
Polyporus sordidus Berk. in Fries, Nov. Symb. 80. 1851. 
Name changed to Polyporus sordidulus in Cooke’s enumeration of 
polypores owing to the discovery of another species bearing the 
former name. 
Polyporus endozonus Fr. Nov. Symb. 54. 1851. Collected by 
Oersted on trunks in the Island of San Juan. I have not seen the 
type of this species. It is said to be very thick and narrow, with 
smooth, rigid pileus, roughly fibrous context and very small short 
pores, which become dark umber withage. Fries treats it next to 
P. scruposus and it is certainly not far from AH. gi/vus, but the 
pileus is too thick and the substance too fibrous for this species.
