Tephrostieta Sacc. & Syd. was published in Ann. Myc, 2 (1904) 162 
as a subgenus for T eichosporella Negeriana Sacc. & Syd. We now believe 
that it is certainly worthy of generic rank, differing too much from Teichos- 
porella by the presence of a subiculum, by the collapsing perithecia, the 
lack of paraphyses, the growth on living or languishing leaves, etc. Teph- 
rosticta Sacc. & Syd. is accordingly raised herewith to the status of a 
genus. 
OPHIOBOLUS Riess 
OPHIOBOLUS SERIATUS Syd. sp. nov. 
Peritheciis aggregatis vel saepius bene seriatis, matrice 
inflatula diu omnino tectis, e mutua pressione irregularibus, 
atris, 300 ad 450 p diam., glabris, levibus, ostiolo matricem 
inflatulam vix punctiformi-perforante ; ascis cylindraceo-clavatis, 
brevissime stipitatis, apice rotundatis vel leniter attenuatis, 90 
ad 110 p longis, 8 ad 13 /x latis, octosporis; sporidiis elongato- 
fusoideis, utrinque attenuatis, continuis, sed pluriguttulatis, 
hyalinis, 55 ad 75 ;ix longis, 3 ad 4 /x latis. 
Luzon, Province of Laguna, Los Banos, C. F. Baker 663, January 10, 
1913. On dead culms of Bambusa. 
The species is similar in habit to Ophiobolus javanicus Penz. & Sacc., but 
differs especially by its much longer asci and sporidia.

Luzon, Manila, - Merrill S 55, October 7, 1912. On dead sheathing bases 
of leaves of Pandanus tectorius. 
In Hedwigia 47 (1908) 263, Hennings has described a Sphaeropsis 
Pandani on leaves of Pandanus laevis from Davao, Mindanao. We have 
examined Hennings’ original material, and have found that it contains 
two different fungi, both Ascomycetes, namely Linospora Pandani Syd. 
and Anthostomella calocarpa Syd. Hennings, when describing the above- 
mentioned Sphaeropsis, overlooked the asci. Such a fungus as Hennings
