FUNGI IMPERFECTI 



Scopulariopsis blochi Matruchot, 191 1. 



Synonyms. — Mastigoclaiium blochi MatrucKot, 1911; Scopula- 

 riopsis blochi Vuillemin, 1911. 



Found by Bruno Bloch in a case of gummatous lymphangitis, 

 clinically very similar to an ordinary case of sporotrichosis. In 



cultures the mycelial threads are slender 

 (0-5 to 1-5 ^ in breadth), colourless, sep- 

 tated, very little ramified. Conidiophores, 

 20 to 30 jbL in length, are tapering, and 

 from the pointed ends -chains of conidia 

 take origin. Conidia elongated, ovoid, 

 3 to 4 in length and 1-5 to 2 //in 

 breadth. In old cultures white-creamy 

 formations may be seen, which may 

 possibly be undeveloped perithecia.

Scopulariopsis koningii Oudemans. 

 Synonyms. — Monilia koningii Oudemans; 

 Scopulariopsis rufulus Bainier; 5. koningii 

 Vuillemin, 191 2. 



A scopulariopsis isolated by Yanin in a case of subcutaneous gummata has 

 been identified by Vuillemin as S. koningii Oudemans . The cultural characters 

 are very similar to those of the previous species, but the peculiar white-creamy 

 formations as observed in old cultures of S. blochi are not seen. Boucher in 

 cases of gumma-like swellings in Madagascar has isolated a species which he 

 calls 5. ivorensis.
