A rare species, characterized by the deep narrow ridges 

 forming a network on the epispore and the surface of the bands 

 not being punctate, and by the narrow, raised lines running 

 parallel to the long axis of the elaters. 



It is amazing how Rostafinski managed to give so many 

 synonyms for the present species, considering that the specific 

 characters require for their elucidation at least a y^th oil 

 immersion objective, yet this is done, and without any query 

 as to their accuracy, although presumably not many of the 

 types, if indeed any, were forthcoming.
