Hemiglossum Pat., Rev. Mycol. (Toulouse) 12: 135. 1890. 
Type species (only original species) : Hemiglossum yunnanense 
Pat. 
Notes: Imai (1941) has erected a subfamily of the Geogloss- 
aceae, the Hemiglossoideae, to accomodate this genus. He also 
added a second species H. itoanum . Le Gal (1959) described a 
third species H. eongolense. 
Heterochlamys Pat., Bull. Soc. Mycol. France 10: 231. 1895, non 
Heterochlamys Turiz., 1843. 
Type species (only original species) : Heterochlamys chusque 
Pat . 
Notes: Muller and von Arx (1962) treat this genus as 
Gilletiella Sacc. & Sydow as do Theissen and Sydow (1915). 
Hyalodothis Pat. & Har., Bull. Soc. Mycol. France 9: 210. 1893. 
Type species (only original species) : Hyalodothis clavus 
Pat. & Har. 
Notes: Theissen and Sydow (1915) found that the specimen 
described was an unripe Ophiodothus with a parasitic Hyponectria 
attacking it. Clements and Shear (1931) synonymized the genus 
with Balansia. Diel (1950) and Arnold (1967) considered the 
generic name to be a nomen confusum. Arnold, in an examination 
of the type collection at FH, found an hypocrealean fungus 
embedded in the stroma of a Balansia and referred the parasite to 
Hectriella , the name for which is N. balansiae Arnold. 
Lin iputia Boud. & Pat., Bull. Soc. Mycol. France 16: 144. 1900. 
Type species (only original species): Lilliputia gaillardii 
Boud. & Pat. 
Notes: According to Hughes (1951) the type collection is a. 
synonym of Lilliputia rufula (Berkeley and iBroome) Hughes. 
Dennis and Wakefield (1946) have described the perithecial wall 
structure. Jt was originally described in the Tuberales, where 
it was truly lilliputian. Dennis and Wakefield place it more 
convincingly in the Eurotiaceae. 
Maury a Pat., Bull. Soc. Mycol. France 14: 56. 1898. 
Type species (only original species): Maurya hypoxyloides Pat. 
Notes: Considered by many to be a nomen confusum. Petrak 
(1951) has studied the type species and has decided it is a 
Hypoxylon stroma parasitized by another fungus. 
Microstelium Pat. , Bull. Soc. Mycol. France 15: 208. 1899. 
Type species (only original species) : Microstelium hyalinum 
Pat. 
Notes: The genus has been accepted by several workers and is 
treated by Rogerson (1970) in the Hypocreales family Clavicipit- 
aceae. However, annotations on the holotype of the type species 
‘indicate that there is no fungus present and that the structures 
described were of a moss. It has been excluded from the Hysteri— 
aceae (Zogg 1962) .
