the peritheciuni; cells III and IV rather prominent. Outer appendage becoming wholly opaque, its 
successive cells indistinguishable as are the basal and Insertion-cells, consisting of n blackened axis en d 
or bent outward, from the inner side of which arise several moivor less blackened branches, the l>; sil por- 
tion of the appendage only, as a rule, remaining. The inner appendage, consisting of h basal cell which 
is usually indistinguishable from the insertion-cell, being quite opaque, producing a branch on either side, 
the axis of the branches erect, becoming blackened and opaque, except the inner margins «>f (lie distal 
cells, bearing externally from six to ten or even more branclilcts which are more or less deeply suffused.

On inferior surface of abdomen, and on elytra of Miscelus Javanus King., Hope Collection, No. 
304, Java; on Mucehi.s sp., Paris Museum, No. 114, New Guinea. 
This somewhat variable species occurs on the elytra and abdomen of its host, its .small receptacle 
and relatively large perithecium, together with its peculiar appendages, give it, like the allied L ifnitanx, 
a general habit which strongly suggests some species of Coretkromyees. The main axis of the outer append- 
age, as well as the main branches of the inner, appear to result from successive proliferation and may 
be quite opaque. The species is very closely allied to L. Misceli from the Molucca-, which may prove 
merely a paler variety. The figures represent specimens from the type slide on M. Javanus from Java.

Perithecium free, long and slender, translucent, pale brownish olive, slightly narrowed at the base 
to form a short paler stalk which lies opposite the insertion-cell; the tip long, not very abruptly distin- 
guished, paler below, straight or turned slightly outward, distally blackened on the inner side; the lip 
variable, rather prominent. Receptacle rather short and stout, darker olive-brown; the b il ceU pale 
yellowish. Insertion-cell nearly as broad as cells IV-V. Basal cell of outer appendage blackish brown 
externally, bearing a single terminal branch of less diameter, externally suffused with blackish brown 
slightly curved outward and bearing two or three branchlets from the inner side which are hyaline, their 
basal cells somewhat suffused with brown; the basal cell of the inner appendage .nailer than that of the 
outer, nearly hyaline and bearing a branch on either side similar to the outer appendage; both tin- ap- 
i 
pendages and their branches erect, subappressed. Perithcia including base Uo ISO n. Total lengtl

At base of posterior legs of Miscdw sp., Paris Museum, No. 1 11 bis, bl< des Moluques. 
This species is too closely allied to L. Caretkropm, of which it will probably prove fa be merely ■ 
variety. It differs in its paler color, and erect and unsuffused appendages, which are however, w r ( 
similar in structure. The general appearance of the two is distinctly different and they are kept apart 
provisionally until more and better material of both forms can be examined.
