October, 1912, on the leaves of Mangifera indica. 
A species quite common on mangoes in the Philippines. Ар- 
parently the fungus is not parasitic but, as in the case of the other 
members of the genus, appears in connection with aphid attacks, 
finding nourishment in the honey-dew excreted by them. Any 
injury to the host is probably due to a smothering effect caused by 
the heavy incrustation sometimes developed by the fungus. 
For the most part this fungus is found on the under surface of the 
leaf. 
Described from material collected on the same host in Porto 
Rico.
