The smallest species of the genus, more nearly allied io K la^!(*jJiorus in thv form of its

small number of specimens wvii: found growing near the tips of the elytra of \tn ho«t, a ))Iind

Perithecium brown, darker at the blunt apex, slightly inflafrd, its two lower thirds almost 
completely surrounded by a series of appendages arising from its base, n^'ccptaclc very long 
and slender, slightly flexuous, its main axis consisting of about thii'ty Bupcrposed cells d'^nply 
sufTused with blackish brown, lighter at the se]>ta. Appendages very numerous, externally 
opaque, internally more or less hyaline, short, slender, straight, appressod ; a hw curved, project-

One of the largest of all the Lnbonlbcniaceoc foimd on the elytra of a small Colpodes in the 
collection of the ifuseum at Cambridge. Apart from its great size it is readily distinguished by 
the curious disposition in pairs of certain of its slender aj)])cndagC3.

Perithecium nearly sessile, terminal, pale straw-colored, hardly inflated, continuing the si.e- 
moid curve of the receptacle, its Jdunt apex exceeding the tips of the appendages by about half its 
length. Pieceptacle nniformly pale straw-colored, bent in a sigmoid curve, the base slender, the 
remaining portion stout, the main axis consisting of about eighteen superposed cells with very 
oblique septa, the appendiculate cells unusually large, their bases externally distinct, A]>pend-
