crocera described by Parkin (19), especially the form (b.). These two 
forms, the Formosan and Ceylon, resemble each other in the following charac- 
ters ; viz. — a conspicuous develpment of the stroma, the shape, color and 
sparsity of the sporodochia, and the shape and size of the conidia, provided 
the figure 66 of the Plate IV. in the Parkin’s paper (19) represent the 
conidia of his form (b.J. . As the host insects differ in species in these two 
forms, their effect on the host may not necessarily be identical. Whether 
the shell of Aonidia bullata attacked by Microcera f. (b.) Parkin is simi- 
larly affected as in the case of the Formosan Aspidiotus or not, could not be 
ascertained from the brief description given. 
From these considerations, we may safely regard our form as a new 
species, for which we propose the name Microcera Fujikuroi, in honor of Mr. 
Y. Fujikuro, an assistant-mycologist to the Agricultural Experiment 
Station, Taihoku, Formosa, who has devoted much time and attention to 
the collection and study of the fungi parasitic on the scale-insects in 
Formosa.

Sporodochia globose to obovoid, rounded or sometimes obscurely lacerate 
at the apex, one or two from the margin of a scale, grayish, 0.5 - 2 mm. in 
diameter. Conidiophores densely packed together, simple, moniliform, bear-
