This species, which varies considerably in size, is well distinguished by its crest-like appendages, 
which recall those of L. eristata, the very long stiff deep red-brown ultimate branchlets of which are very 
similar in general appearance. The type of branching is however quite different, and the species is per- 
haps more nearly allied to L. Quedii which is still only known through the Type figured in my Mono- 
graph.

Tinged with smoky brown. Perithecia falcate, strongly bent toward the appendages, pale smoky 
brown, tapering symmetrically, or nearly so, to the base and apex; the basal cells forming a short narrow 
hyaline stalk; the tip not differentiated, suffused with deep blackish brown, except the pale or hyaline 
blunt apex, the outer lips most prominent. Receptacle more or less distinctly punctate, relatively long 
and of nearly equal diameter throughout, often slightly geniculate through an enlargement of the basal 
Dell, which is relatively very large just below the subbasal cell, which is smaller and separated by a more 
or less oblique septum; cell III relatively small, distally more prominent on the inner side; cells IV and V 
very small, nearly equal; cells III and VI subequal. The insertion-cell small, rather thick, whollv free

The basal cell of the 
outer appendage larger, sometimes inflated, bearing distally, as a rule, one terminal and two lateral 
branches which are usually simple, distally hyaline, somewhat constricted at the septa, hardly reaching 
to the tip of the peritheciuin ; basal cell of the inner appendage very small, circular in outline, bearing 
apparently three branches like the outer. Spores 55 X 5.5 //. Perithecia 125 X 32 fi. Receptacle 150 X 
30 fi. Appendages about 90 /i. Total length to tip of perithecium about 250 fi.

broader than cell II, and punctate where it is suffused. The host is a staphylinid, one of the Piederini,
