Vegetative cells 25-29 /x x 100-145 /x; chromatophores with 4-6 very<br />

small pyrenoids irregularly disposed; conjugation scalariform; zygo-<br />

spores in the conjugating tubes, short-cylindric with concave sides,<br />

West's drawing of the spore may be misleading. The polar ends should<br />

be visualized as circular.<br />

1877. p. 23.<br />

Vegetative cells 35-40 /x x 65-350^1; chromatophores with numerous<br />

scattered pyrenoids; conjugating cells geniculate; conjugation scalar-<br />

aplanospores ovoid or obliquely ovoid. Spores quite variable in form.<br />

Europe; South America; southern Siberia; India; China; Australia.<br />

47. MouGEOTiA ACADiANA Transeau 1934. Trans. Amer. Micros.<br />

Soc. 53, p. 224.<br />

Vegetative cells 43-54/^ x 100-400 ^u,; chromatophores with many<br />

scattered pyrenoids; conjugating cells geniculate; conjugation scalar-<br />

iform; zygospores in the greatly enlarged conjugating tubes, cylindric-<br />

ovoid, usually with concave sides, ends convex, 51-70 /x x 57-78 m; spore<br />

wall yellow, thick, smooth. Similar to M. laetevirens but larger in all<br />

dimensions.<br />

United States: Mississippi and Florida.<br />

Latvia (Skuja); Czechoslovakia (Czurda).<br />

Some of the records for M. laetevirens probably belong to this larger<br />

species which it closely resembles.<br />

Vegetative cells 25-28 /x x 1 50-340 /x; chromatophores with 6-12<br />

pyrenoids in a single row; conjugation scalariform; zygospores short-
