Perisporiales 



PERISPORIACEAE 



Dimerina monetises, sp. nov. (fig. 20). — Epiphyllous, rarely 

 hypophyllous, diffuse over the leaf surface. Mycelium superficial, 

 scant, dark, irregular, 3 jjl thick with thinner side branches. No 

 hyphopodia, perithecia rough, irregularly spherical, 45-60 /x in 

 diameter, without ostiole, arranged in close clusters of 10 or more 

 on a close dark subicle. Clusters 1 50-300 /x in diameter. Asci 

 numerous, elliptical, 34X 17 /z> obtuse, 8-spored. Spores inordinate, 

 hyaline or very pale-smoky, 13-16X3 m, obtuse, 2-celled. 



On Jacquinia barbasco, Mona Island, 6087. 



While the spores and asci agree well in size with those of Dimerina eutricha 

 and D. negeriana, our species does not agree with these forms in other characters. 

 Agreement as to asci and spores is close with Asterina paupercula E. and E., 

 but our perithecium is not that of an Asterina. 



Hysteriineae 



Gloniella rubra, sp. nov. (fig. 21). — Perithecia oblong, scattered, 

 numerous, epiphyllous, black, 600-1500X180-250^, opening by 

 one or more longitudinal clefts; the perithecial contents thus 

 exposed are red (near color no. 13 of Saccardo's scale). Asci long- 

 cylindrical, very crooked, especially at the tip, 8-spored, 85-92X10 

 /x, inordinate. Paraphyses numerous, filiform, long. Spores hya- 

 line or very faintly tinted, 1-3, mostly 3-septate, fusoid, 23-26X3 /*• 



On Arthrostylidium multispicatum Pilg., El Alto de la Bandera, 43^3 

 (type). 



This species is somewhat like G. pusilla Sacc, but differs from it in its 



carbonaceous perithecium, red contents, curved asci, etc. 



Pleosporaceae 

 Physalospora Hoyae, v. Hohn. (fig. 22). 



On Ficus, Mona Island, 6234, 6169. 



This very pretty form I refer with some hesitancy to the preceding species. 



spores 



the description of von. Hohnel calls for. P. clasticae Koord. is close kin, but 

 differs in the rounded spores. Pycnidia are present, bearing slender filamentous 

 spores, 7X1/X.
