20 Mas see. — A Revision of 
slightly flexuous, even, glabrous ; head globose, rough with 
the projecting mouths of the perithecia, 2 mm. diameter, like 
the stem pale-yellow ; asci elongated, narrowly cylindrical, 
apex capitate, narrowed below into a slender pedicel, 8-spored ; 
spores arranged in a parallel fascicle, slightly flexuous when 
free, hyaline, filiform, multiseptate, 8ox i /x, component cells 
about 4 /x long. 
Among leaves on wood, growing from portion of a cater- 
pillar. Cuba (Wright, no. 519). 
Perithecia crowded, mouths narrowed and prominent. The 
entire fungus is pale amber-colour, and the stem is almost 
translucent when dry.

Gregarious ; stems simple, -|-i cm. high, 1 mm. thick, 
cylindrical, smooth and even, pallid, head globose, smooth, 
pallid, about 3 mm. across ; asci cylindrical, narrowed below 
into a long, slender pedicel, apex capitate, 8-spored ; spores 
arranged in a parallel fascicle in the ascus, hyaline, filiform, 
multiseptate, slightly constricted at the septa, and apparently 
always breaking up into the component cells, which are 
linear-elliptic, ends narrowed, truncate, hyaline, 10x1*5 /x, 
before leaving the ascus. 
On dipterous insect. Ceylon (Thwaites). 
Type specimen in Herb. Kew., examined. 
A very fine and remarkable species, easily recognized by 
the peculiar structure of the spores. The perithecia are 
completely immersed in the substance of the stroma, the 
mouths appearing as very minute depressions on the surface 
when moist.
