Mas see. — A Revision of 
to the Lithoosidae. Saccardo — Syll. ii, p. 567 — says the 
fungus occurs on larvae belonging to the genus Tinea. The 
Australian specimens were found on the larvae of Menesteris 
laticollis. On Hexapoda , sp. indet. (Host-Index, p. 182). 
On Melolontha vulgaris — Giard, 1 . c., p. 46. 
Examination of a specimen of Xylaria gracilis from Greville 
enables me to reduce that form to the present species. The 
type of Cordyeeps menesteridis also examined.
