 belong to Piricularia rather than Dactylaria, as they are provided 

 with solitary conidia which are produced at the end of more or

 capitate, as was pointed out by Nishikado (1. c, p. 210). S. Ito, 

 therefore, suggested the new combination of Sawada's three new 

 species as Piricularia Panicipaludosi, Piricularia Leersiae, and 

 Piricularia Costi (Bot. Mag., Tokyo 32 s82 : 307-308. Japanese. 

 Oct. 1918).
