SECTION AMAURODERMUS. 



JURIENSIS. Pileus thin, rigid with a minutely velutinate, rugu- 

 lose, dark, zonate pileus. Pores minute, white, bruising brownish. 

 Stipe mesopodal, slender with dark, dull, velutinate surface. Spores 

 globose, pale colored, 3^-4 mic. Collected in Brazil and called Poly- 

 stictns sacer var. juriensis by Hennings. It has no resemblance or 

 remote relationship even to Polyporus sacer. 



EXILIS (Fig. 418). Pileus thin, mostly mesopodal, with smooth, 

 faintly zonate surface, small, i-ij^ cm. Pores minute. Stipe filiform 

 (i mm. thick) long, wiry. Known from Spruce's collections from 

 Brazil. Placed in Fomes (sic) by Cooke. 



MARASMIOIDES (Fig. 419). The smallest species in this section, but 

 with the exception of size it has the same characters as exilis, and I think is 

 only a small Polyporus exilis. The specimens sent to Paris by Berkeley hav f e 

 a little filiform stem, not over 2 cm. long, with pilei about Y* a cm. 



SYNONYMS, REJECTED AND UNKNOWN SPECIES. 



auriscalpioides, Brazil, Hennings=auriscalpium. 



bataanensis, Philippines, Murrill. Unknown. 



boleticus (Bull. Soc. Myc.) misprint for boleticeps. 



Boleticeps, South America, Patouillard. Unknown to me except from illus- 

 tration (Bull. Soc. Myc. France, 1888, pi. 12). Seems close to omphalodes and 

 came from same region. 



cassiaecolor, Brazil, Berkeley. A single specimen so named which, though 

 thick, I believe to be a thick specimen of Schomburgkii. 



Clemensiae, Philippines, Murrill. Unknown. 



Elmerianus, Philippines, Murrill. Unknown. 



nigripes, Brazil, Fries. No type exists. Unknown. The description reads 

 much like leptopus. 



Pala, South America, Leveille. Unknown. No type exists. 



Parmula, Brazil, Berkeley=exilis. 



passerinus, Brazil, Berkeley=renatus. 



procerus, Brazil, Berkeley. Only two specimens so named, both immature. 

 One specimen has quite a long stipe. I think both are heteromorphus. 



pulcher, Africa. Fries. No type exists. Figure (Afz. 19) seems to be in 

 this section although it has a laccate stipe. 



pullatus, China, Cooke. This is a manuscript name that Berkeley gave to 

 an old specimen from Hong Kong, but afterward concluded that it was rudis 

 of Australia and did not publish it. Cooke afterward dug it up and published 

 it. I do not think the old specimen is rudis, but it was too poor to publish. 



rufobadius, South America, Patouillard. Unknown to me except from illus 

 tration (Bull. Soc. Myc. France, 1889, pi. 10). Seems to me to be too close 

 omphalodes. 



rugosus, Berkeley, Brazil (as Porothelium). The specific name being a 

 duplicate, was changed to Spraguei. 



subrenatus, Central America, Murrill. Unknown. 



subrugosus, Samoa, Bresadola=rugosus. 



Umbraculum, Africa, Fries. No type exists. Unknown. Used by Patouil- 

 lard as a substitute for leptopus of Persoon which was not justifiable as he knew 

 what leptopus was and did not know as to Umbraculum. Specimen determined 

 by Kalchbrenner and distributed (de Thumen 708) has no possible 

 to Fries' description or the figure cited. 



xylodes, Brazil, Berkeley^ Schomburgkii.
