conjugating tube, globose, 40-45 i^, in diameter, or subglobose, 39-42 /a x
45-50 /x; spore wall yellow, coarsely and irregularly punctate; pits about

Soc. 53, p. 219, Fig. 38.
Vegetative cells 14-22)". x 80-200 )tx; chromatophore with 6-i2(-i6)
pyrenoids in a single row; conjugation scalariform, often connecting
several filaments; zygospores in the conjugating tubes, usually bilobate-
ovoid, sometimes more cylindric with concave sides, 28-36 ju. x 47-58 /x;
spore wall yellow, sometimes finely punctate. (PI. XVI, Fig. 8.)
United States: Florida, Fort Myers (Tiffany Coll.).
This species is the first of 6 species having cylindric spores with concave
lateral walls. M. opelousensis has round pillbox-shaped spores and is the
culmination of this series of spore forms.
