be a synonym of Omphatospora metaena (Fr.) von Hohnel (Petrak, 
1942; Muller and von Arx, 1962). If one were to base the genus 
Plaeosphaevella on a concept of Dothidea tavgaoanthae the genus 
would provide an older available name for the species included 
now in Orrrphalospora. 
The second alternative would lead to the rejection of the 
name, as was done by Petrak, because Patouillard 1 s specimen was 
a mixture of fungi and thus ambiguous and confusing. 
For now, since a consensus on this problem and its 
resolution seems to be in the future, I will provide only the 
alternatives . 
Sclerodiscus Pat., J. Bot. (Morot) 4 : 66. 1890. 
Type species (only original species) : SoZeyod'iscus ndtens 
Pat . 
Note: The description given was a generico-specif ico . This 
genus, originally referred to the Deuteromycetes , has never been 
properly studied.
