(Aubl.) DC (probably, fide J. Wurdack, 1982) in lowland tropical rainforest, 6 Jan, leg. M. L. Farr ε R. Singer, A M - 6 1 . This new combination is necessitated by the fact that Morenoella Speg. is a synonym of Lembosia Lev. (Muller S A r x , 1962). The Amazonian collection agrees well with BPI isotype and paratype material of H. miconiae (Stevens 8145 and 8 1 3 7 , respectively).
Lembosina sp. INPA g r o u n d s , epiphyllous on Miconia longifolia (Aubl.) DC. (probably, fide J . W u r d a c k ) , h J a n , A M - 3 6 .

Mel iola sp. Manaus-Boa Vista Rd ., ca '(62 km from junction with Manaus-I t a c o a t J _ ara R d , , epiphyllous on Annonaceae? (fide J . Wurdack, 1983; "Auraccaceae" on label) 8 Dec, B r - g ^ S - The fungus does not fit any Meliola species on Annonaceae, but since the host determination is uncertain, no new taxon is named. The following brief description may be useful to future investigators. Beeli formula: 3112.4231. A s c o m a -ta 1 7 6- 2 4 0 um diam; se-tae 160-280 urn long; capi-tate hyphopodia opposite, entire , broadly rounded to broadly clavate, 12-18 urn long; head cell 10-12 (-14) χ 10 vim ' ; phial ides ("mucronate hyphopodia") rare, ca 24 um long, o n e- h a l f of which constitutes

?Microthyriella vagabunda B a t . & C a v a l e . INPA g r o u n d s , on Vismía s p . , ^ J a n , AM 3 5 - This fungus, found only on one leaf, generally fits the description of the s p e c i e s , but no ripe material of the latter w a s available for c o m p a r i s o n . Müller 6 Arx ( 1 9 6 2 ) equated H i c r o t h y r i e l l a Hohnel w i t h Schizothyrfuni Oesm., but since I did not see type m a t e r i a ! of M , v a g a b u n d a , no transfer is m a d e .
Microihyriuni sp. N r . T a p u r u q u a r a , on A s t r o c a r y u m Sp . , 22 J a n , A M- 2 0 9 a .
This fungus does not correspond w i t h M . palmarum C k e . or M . carludovicae P. H e n n . , but is too scanty to characterize as a new species.
Mycerema sp. Ca 73 km W of Barcelos, on scabrous leaves of melastomataceous tree 2 5 J a n , Λ Η - 2 3 7 . Sparse.
H. vochysiacearian B a t . e t a l . Ca 60 km W of T a p u r u q u a r a , on M y r t a c e a e , 2 1 Jan, A H- I 8 6 . Possibly also n r . T a p u r u q u a r a , on upper portion of apocynaceous tree in low, inundated thornless palm s c r u b , 18 J a n , AH-ΐΊΊ. Mycerema B a t . et a l . was listed by Mu'ller ε Arx (1962) as a synonym of S c h i z o t h y r l u m , but the scutellum texture appears to differ in the two g e n e r a .

P. guarapiensis (Speg.) Speg. INPA g r o u n d s , hyperparasitic on Prillieuxina sp . on under, host, h J a n , A M - 3 2 .
?Phyl1achora guavirae Speg. Collection data as for Brooksia tropicalis, AH-186. Possibly this is a species of Stigmochora, but the fungus is too poorly developed for a positive identification.
Plectomyriangium a t r u m Mor. S Mor. Collection data as for Brooksia tropicalis , B r- 1 3 2 . Hypophylous.
Plochmopeltis graminicola (Hòhnel) A r x , new var.? Collection data as for Hycerema sp,, A M 2 3 7 . Hypophyllous on dense layer of stellate hairs. Although diver -ging from the species description and a ZT specimen of P. graminicola by larger, more elongate a s c i , and ascospores 1 u m w i d e r , the fungus is too scanty to typify a new taxon.
Prillieuxina sp. Collection data as for Phaeodimeriella guarapiensis, AM-32. Schizothyrium ?phoebes (Sydow) A r x . Ca 20-30 km Ε of Tapuruquara, on araceous vine in dry c a p o e i r a , 23 J a n , A H - 2 2 7 . Although no material of Sydow's species was available, the Amazonian fungus compares well with the description, differing only in having ascospores 1-1.5 lim narrower,
5. rufulum (Berk. & Curtis) A r x . INPA g r o u n d s , epiphyllous on prostrate, creeping malpighiaceous v i n e , 3 J a n , A M - 2 5 ; collection data as for Dimerium sp., BR-873-col 1. data as for Chaetothyrium vermisporum, B r - 8 9 9 ; collection data as for Lembosia byrsonimae, B r 901.
Seuratia cf. globulifera (Ell. S Ev.) Meeker. Collection data as for Hycereaa sp., A H- 2 3 7 - Epiphyllous.
5ydowiellina pautliniae B a t . S Lima. Collection data as for Chaetothyrium vermis porum, B r - 8 9 9 . S y d w i e l 1 ina B a t . E Lima is listed by Arx ε Muller (1975) as a synonym of Hyriangiella Zimm.; however, a comparison of S. paulliniae with M . arcuata Tore showed that these two taxa are not c o n s p e c i f i c , as stated by Arx & Muller. It is not known whether S. paulliniae fits any other species of Myriangie]la, or whether It needs to be recombined in that genus.
Trichopeltis pulchella Speg. Collection data as for Asteridiella vismiicola, Br 682.
Trichopeltis reptans Speg., sensu F.L. Stevens (1925, pp. 78-86). Collection data as for Brooksia t r o p i c a l i s , AM-156 and B r - 1 3 3 ; collection data as for Hycerema sp, A*l-237; ca 73 km W of B a r c e l o s , on F1 acourt i aceae, 25 Jan, A M - 2 3 8 ; igarapé de Tarumã Grande, hypophyllous on undet. host in igapó, 8 Nov, Br-175.
Spegazzint's taxon has been investigated and discussed by numerous authors and has become a case of taxonomlc confusion, because the type collection apparently contains several superficially similar fungi. The Amazonian specimens, like the Hawaiian ones cited by Stevens (I.e.), grow directly on the leaf and are not hyperparasitic. T r i c h o p e 1 t u n hawaiiensis B a t . e Costa may be the same fungus.
