the older Pythion Mart! (1831) which is but an alternate Greek 
writ:ng of the other, the Latin form. ‘There is, moreover, an older 
Pythius Raf.’ (1836). We rename the group Eupythium, raising 
the typical section name to generic standing. Artotrogus Mon- 
tagne, was not selected apparently as a name for the aggregate, 
but for the typical section of it and in our opinion is ineligible, 
because it might sometime be required for a separate genus name. 
Eupythium Nom. Nov. 
Pythium Pringsheim, not Pythion Mart., (1831) nor Pythius 
Rafinesque, (1836).

Eupythium Anguillulae (Sadebeck). 
Pythium Anguillulae Sadebeck. 
ROBERGEA. 
Robergea Desmaz. is scarcely different from Robergia Schreb.3 
and in any system of pronunciation of names can not be distin- 
guished. As the pronounced name constitutes the homonym in 
spite of spelling, the fungus name must yield to the older one. 
Bergorea may be substituted. 
Bergorea Nom. Nov. 
Robergea Desmaz. not RKobergia Screb. 
Bergorea unica (Desmaz). 
Robergea unica Desmaz. 
Bergorea albifrons (Tulas). 
Robergea albifrons Tulas. 
SCOPULARIA 
Scopularia Preuss, according to the laws of priority must give 
way because of the existence of an older Scopularia Lindley‘ 
(1834.) Lindavias is suggested as a substitute for the fungus plant.’
