RUSSICEPS. Color of pileus dark cinnamon brown, same color 

 and peculiar setae as the preceding, but in this species the setae are 

 absent from the pores. Pores small, pale. Not a form of grammo- 

 cephalus as given, but closely allied to the preceding. Only known 

 from Ceylon.

MEGALOPORUS (Fig. 442). Pileus dark, spotted, with short, 

 lateral stipe. Pores large, subfavoloid. Hymenium with numerous 

 very peculiar setae (same nature as those of the preceding section). 

 Known from one specimen in Montague's herbarium from South 

 America. It is close to Favolus princeps in its peculiar setae, but 

 otherwise I think it is different.
