Even if, in thinking that Ascocyclus reptans Reinke 
includes Crouans Ect. reptans, one has to admit that at least 
Sauvageau 1897 established a new species name reptans, 
when he divided this collective species, putting Crouans 
original form in a new genus 'and Reinkes form in another 
new one. 
Sauvageau says 1. c., p. 273, that the real value of 
Ect. reptans in the papers of Farlow, Hauck, Batters, and 
Kjellman still remains to be shown. 
Reinkes specific name Ect. repens cannot be used 
for Kj ell ma ns form, it being stillborn, as already 1869 
a new species Ect. repens had been established by G. Sperk 
in Algenflora des schwarzen Meeres. 
If, as I think, Sauvageau had the right to act as he 
did. and thus a valid name » Hecatonema reptans » Sauv. 
exists, Kylins new name H. fncicola is superfluous; consequ- 
ently H. reptans Kylin must get a new name: H. Kjellmani.
