Perithecium free, mostly straight, the inner margin nunc convex, uniformly clear dark brown or 
blackish except just below the black tip, abruptly distinguished from and contrasting with the n eeptaeli 
the tip rather abruptly distinguished, straight or bent slightly inward, with hyaline lip-nmigii e wall- 
cells with a slight spiral turn. Receptacle hyaline or finally yellowish, cells III and VI about equal. 
Insertion-cell opposite base of perithecium. Outer appendage consisting of I rather small basal II, 
its outer wall blackened, the blackening continuous with the insertion-cell, usually producing distally 
two branches, an outer blackened externally or suffused with brown at its base and on<'c branched, and 
an inner usually simple and hyaline. The inner appendage consists of a basal < II like that of the outer, 
and produces a single branch on either side which may be once branched, all the branchlet> of both append- 
ages rather stout and stiff, tapering, slightly curved outward, hyaline or becoming dirty yellowish, l'« pi

When young, this species is almost perfectly hyaline, the perithecium as well as the outer edge of the 
outer appendage, soon assuming a rich dark brown, abruptly contrasting color. A loniewhat similar and 
larger form has been examined on II. roninw Bates from Japan, Berlin Museum No. 1018), but is in 
very bad condition. The species is nearly allied to or perhaps identical with certain other fori Kitting 
on 'species of Harpahis which have been examined from America and elsewhere, but which are in need of 
further studv.
