NOTE. This species has never been described but it was said by Cooke,

Atraetobolus ubiquitarius, Fr. 



NOTE. Of the two species of the genus Atraetobolus mentioned by 

 Schweinitz, 1834, A. luteseens is not a fungus but insect eggs. Atraetobolus 

 ubiquitarius under which name Schweinitz quotes Fr. S. M. 2: 305. 1823 

 is a small Peziza belonging to some genus closely allied to Mollisia, which 

 we are unable to determine specifically whereas in Summa 439. 1849 Fries 

 states that his Atraetobolus ubiquitarius is insect eggs. See also Berkeley in 

 Entomol. Monthly Mag. 10 : 183. Jan. 1874. 



Mycologists do not seem to be able to recognize the original Atraetobolus 

 ubiquitarius of Tode of which Tode gives Peziza annularia, Batsch as a 

 synonym. The plates of Tode and Batsch suggest quite as much the work 

 of an insect as a fungus and the assumption of O. Kuntze that Atraetobolus 

 includes Dasyscypha, Fr. seems to us quite unwarranted.
