340 ART. I. — B. HAYATA : 



paria conferta cerea inappendiculata, stipite angusto IJ mm. longo 

 J mm. lato hyalino ; glandula squamiformis rotundata. 



Hab. Formosa, leg. T. Uchiyama, 1899. 



The genus to which the present species is referred, is separated 

 from Sarccmthus by the transversal plate covering the mouth of 

 the spur, and also from Ecliioglossmn, by the nearly round 

 glandule. In the latter genus, the glandules are horse- shoe-shaped 

 and the mouth of the spur is narrowed by a thickening of the 

 tissue, which characters, however, do not very distinctly separate 

 the genus from Cleisostoma.
