Laboulbenia teuncata Tbaxter. Plate XIII, figs. 12-14. 
Proc. Am. Acad. Arts and Sci. Vol. XXIV, p. 267. 
Dark olive brown, sometimes nearly opaque. Perithecium large, the middle third expanded 
slightly just above the insertion of the appendages, otherwise sub-cylindrical ; the dark truncate 
apex slightly oblique inwardly, usually as broad as the base, with large, nearly hyaline lips about 
the pore. Appendages two : the outer straight, stout, "dark brown at the base, unbranchcd, 
tapering to a slender, hyaline apex : the inner short, slender, simple, hyaline, its base occupying 
less than a third of the horizontal black disk of insertion, which is situated about opposite the 
middle of the perithecium. Receptacle short, wedge-shaped : cell I small, triangular, its lower 
half nearly hyaline, contrasting, its upper as dark as the basal portion of the outer appendage ; 
the darker portions coarsely punctate. Spores, 55-60x4.5/*. Pcrithccia, 90-100 x 35-40 /t. 
Ap])cndages, outer, 150 /i. Total length to tip of perithecium, 175-180 /a. Greatest width, G6 /*. 
On Bemlidium sp., New Hartford, Connecticut. 
A very small and singular species, distinguished from all others by its perithecium, which is 
nearly as broad at its hatchet-shaped tip as at its base. It is closely allied to the preceding 
species, but, as above stated, seems undoubtedly distinct. It has been found but once on an 
L 
undetermined species of Bemhidkm captured at the margin of a brook in shady woods. It grew 
crowded on one of the anterior legs of its host.

suffused with olive brown at the base of the perithecium and in 
the region of cell III. Perithecium moderate, the apex rather prominent, blackened except 
about the pore, the blackening continued downward externally to the body of the i)erithecium. 
Outer appendage single, simple, nearly straight, exceeding- the perithecium; its basal cell very 
large, outwardly strongly inflated and blackened. Inner appendage consisting of a much smaller 
basal cell, from which arise directly two branches, the latter two to three times successively 
branched with small basal cells and bearing a few solitary antheridia near the base. Receptacle 
rather elongate, normal, cell IV projecting outward beyond the rather thick black insertion 
cell which IS situated between the two lower thirds of the perithecium. Spores, 65x5 /.. 
Perihecia, 100-130 x 37 /.. Appendages (longest observed), 110-130 ;x. Total length to tip of 
penthecia, 250-320 /i. n r- ^ r
