Stroma orbicular or elliptical, transversely erumpent, sur-

four to six sulcate, perithecia six to twelve, ovate; asci

When the outer bark is torn away the fungus comes off 
with it. The species belongs to the subgenus Diatrypella 
and is closely related to D. guercina. There are two forms, 
one with the stroma small, narrow, and transversely erum- 
pent, the other larger and suborbicular.
