SECTION MELANOPUS. 



minimus, Europe, Fries. A tiny, little form of elegans. No specimens known. 



nephelodes, South America, Leveille. No type exists. Said by Fries to be 

 the same as infernalis. 



nigripes, Africa, Massee=hemicapnodes. 



nummularius, Europe, Bulliard=elegans. 



pertenuis, Asia, Kalchbrenner. Unknown. 



pusillus, Asia, Rostrup. Unknown to me. Said to be zoned, hence probably 

 does not belong in this section. 



rufo-atratus, Brazil, Berkeley=rhizomorphus (sans rhizomes). 



scabellus, West Indies, Patouillard=nephridius. 



seminigrita, Brazil, Berkeley=Guyanensis. 



Strangerii, Australia, Mueller. Unknown. Seems from the description to 

 be dictyopus. 



subelegans, West Indies, Murrill. Unknown to me. The description sug- 

 gests xerophyllus or radiato-scruposus. 



tephromelas, South America, Montagne=Leprieurii. 



Teysmanni, Mexico, Cooke. (Mss.) Changed to malnominus. 



trachypus, United States, Montague. Based on an abortive picipes. 



tubaeformis. Europe, Karsten. Evidently close to varius and given as a 

 form in Saccardo. 



Underwoodii, United States, Murrill. I think will prove to be the same 

 as admirabilis. 



versiformis, India, Berkeley. Based on two little specimens, one of which 

 seems to be melanopus, the other I think is different.
