376 MONOGEAPH OF THE LABOULBENIACE^ 
Ceeatomyces camptospoeus Thaxter. Plate XXIV, figs, 13, 14. 
Proc. Am. Acad. Arts and Sci. Vol. XXVII, p. 35. 
Pale amber-brown, Ferithecium strongly curved near the base, rather stout, its cell-rows 
made up of from thh'tj-five to forty members which, on the anterior row, are somewhat inflated 
and constricted at the septa, giving a strongly corrugated outline on tliis side, the inner margin 
bent abruptly almost at right angles to the blunt tip, below which, externally, a nearly straight 
erect perithecial appendage arises, composed of six or more superposed cells, sometimes bearing 
terminal branchlets. Antheridial appendage consisting of a short curved basal cell, above which 
it is abruptly expanded, tapering thence to a rather slender tip ; the antheridial branchlets 
terminal, few in number (or wholly broken off). Ecceptacle very small, consisting of a few 
superposed cells for the most part black and opaquo. Spores slightly swollen, and bent near the 
apex, long and slender, 110 X 3.5 /i, Perithccia, 275 x 85-90 /x. Receptacle, 90 x 50 /i. 
On Tropisternus glaher Hb., Milford, Connecticut ; Arlington, Mass. On T. striolatiis Lcc, 
Texas. 
This species appears to be very rare, and I have collected it but once since the three types 
were found at Milford, A specimen on the above-mentioned host from Texas seems to 
correspond in all essentials, though not in very good condition, and is more rigid in form without 
the sub-sigmoid habit of the other specimens. The type-form is at once distimrni^hcd by the 
cliaracter of its antheridial appendage, the form of its perithecium, and especially by its greatly 
reduced and almost wholly blackened receptacle and the characteristic irregularity of its 
spores. ^ It IS found along the lower margin of its host, but was attached to the edge of tlic 
elytron m the only specimen in which its exact position was noted 
Ceratomyces filiformis Thaxter.
