EXCLUDED SPECIES 
C. capnoides Ell. & Ev. Phila. Acad. Nat. Sci. Proc. 1894 : 
324. 1894; Saec. Syll. Fung. 11: 129. 1895. 
Type: type distribution in ЕП. & Ev., N. Am. Fungi, 2808. 
This fungus bears its spores singly on conidiophores, as 
stated in the original description, and is not a basidiomycete. 
C. sordulenta Cooke & Massee in Sace. Syll. Fung. 6 : 650. 
1888; Massee, Linn. бос. Bot. Jour. 25 : 132. 1889. 
Type: type in Kew Herb. 
This species is not distinct from Thelephora pallescens 
Schw., whose relationship to Hypochnus thelephoroides (ЕП. 
& Еу.) Burt was pointed out in my comment on the latter in 
Ann. Mo. Bot. Gard. 3: 236. 1916. I have recently prepared 
a new set of sections from the authentic specimen of Theleph- 
ora pallescens Schw. in Curtis Herb. This specimen is in 
fine condition and shows the spores fully as rough-walled or 
aculeate in aqueous mounts as those of Hypochnus thelepho- 
roides, which, therefore, becomes a synonym of Т, pallescens 
and should be displaced in my account of our species of 
Hypochnus by the name Hypochnus pallescens (Schw.) Burt, 
with synonymy and distribution as follows:
