ON FUNGI PARASITIC ON SCALE-INSECTS FOUND IN FORMOSA.

turning to cinnamon-color as it matures, but is not exactly orange-colored. 
3. In the shape and size of the -stroma, our form is quite variable. 
In shape it ranges from semispherical to subspherical, some approaching to 
conico- or subtruncato-hemispherical, provided always with a narrow 
rather thick light colored hypothallial margin. The surface of the stroma is 
not always smooth but becomes irregularly verrucose, when the inner pycnidia 
become matured. In size, our fungus is decidedly larger, the largest ones 
measuring 4 mm. in diameter. (PI. "VI. fig- 16 - 20). 
4. In the shape and size of the conidia, these two forms coincide fairly 
closely. In our form, however, the conidia are always straight, and are 
not so curved as represented in one of the Koorder’s figures. (PI. VI. 
fig. 21). 
These two species are certainly most closely related. But judging from 
the Koorder’s description and figures, we are rather inclined to regard 
our fungus as quite distinct from his Asohersonia Eugeniae. 
We have the pleasure of associating this new fungus with the name of 
the first collector of the fungus in Formosa, Mr. Rikiji Suzuki, the 
late phytopathologist to the Agricultural Experiment Station, Taihoku, 
Formosa. 
Aschersonia Suzukii seems to be widely distributed in Japan. It has 
recently been found on scale-insects infesting orange-trees in the Province of 
Suruga. What N i s h i d a (17) thought to be Aschersonia Aleyrodis Webber, 
is apparently of the present species. The shape of the sporodochia and 
marginate stroma shown in his figures coincide closely with our fungus. 
According to the author, it is parasitic on Aspidiotus auranlii infesting 
orange-trees in Fukuoka, Shimane and Riukiu.
