CONIDIOSPORA LES 1 1 1 1 



A. Conidium imperfect : Aleuriospore, 



Suborder i; Aleuriosporinea Vuillemin, 191 1. 



B. Conidium perfect : Conidium verum. 



I. True Conidiophores absent: — 



Suborder 2 : Sporotrichinea Vuillemin, 1910. 

 II. True Conidiophores present:— 



[a) Conidia borne on sporophores. 

 Suborder 3: Sporophoralinece Vuillemin, 1910. 

 (h) Conidia borne on phialides. 



1. Prophialides absent. 



Suborder 4: Phialidinece Vuillemin, 1910. 



2. Prophialides present. 



Suborder ^: Prophialidinece Vuillemin, 1910. 



The fourth suborder, Phialidineae, contains species of the genera 

 Aspergillus Micheli, iy2g; Penicillium Link, 1809; and Sterigmato- 

 cystis Cramer, 1859, in which asci are unknown; but though logically 

 correct to include these species in the Fungi Imperfecti, it is more 

 convenient to consider them under the heading Ascomy cetes, though 

 the genus Scopulariopsis may be placed here. 



The last suborder, Prophialidales, does not contain any genera 

 with species parasitic in man . 



SUBORDER i: ALEURIOSPORINE^ Vuillemin, 1911. 



Definition. — Conidiosporales in which reproduction takes place 

 by aleuriospores. 



Classification. — ^The suborder contains two families, which can 

 be distinguished as follows : — 



A. Conidiophores absent — Aleurismacece . 



B. Conidiophores present — Monotosporacece. 



Family Aleurismace^ Vuillemin, 1911. 

 Definition. — AleuriosporinecB without conidiophores. 

 Classification. — ^The family is divided into two tribes : — 



A. Spores simple or appendiculate — Aleuvismece, 



B. Spores bi- or multi-cellular — Blastotrichecs. 



Only the first tribe is of interest to us. 



Tribe Aleurisme^e. 

 This tribe may be classified as follows : — 

 A. HyphcB pale : — 



I. Hyphae very short; sporogenous. Apparatus but little differ- 

 entiated from the mycelium — Myceliophthora Costantin, 1894. 

 II. Hyphae elongate, sporogenous apparatus but little differentiated 



from the mycelium — Acladium Link, 1809. 

 III. Hyphae elongate, sporogenous apparatus well differentiated 

 from the mycelium: —
