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

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

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