658 N. C. AGR. EXP. STA. BUL. 239 
Tubiga, is in the Oragua Melichar complex of genera discussed in the treat- 
ment of the latter genus and is more closely related to Oragua than to other 
genera in the complex. It can be readily separated from Oragua (except O. par- 
titula (Jacobi)) by its lack of paraphyses.
