Bactrospora integrispora Seaver, Mycologia 16: 8. 1924. Type. VIRGIN ISLANDS. St. Thomas: on<br />
decorticated wood, 10 Mar 1923, Seaver 754 (NY, holotype), syn. nov.<br />
Seaver's name, appearing in a mycological journal, was not picked up by Zahlbruckner and thus not<br />
included by Egea & Torrente. (Also omitted, Seaver's report of Bactrospora dryina (Ach.) Massal. from North<br />
Dakota (Mycologia 1: 112. 1909.) is Schizoxylon berkelyeanum (Dur. & Lév.) Fuckel s. lat.) The Aptroot<br />
specimen from Key Largo was incorrectly assigned to Dade County instead of Monroe County in Egea and<br />
Torrente (1993).<br />
Bactrospora macrospora R. C. Harris<br />
Henssen in Henssen and Thor (1990) transferred this species to Melampylidium Stirton. I am<br />
uncomfortable with this on several grounds. First, the decision is based on material from North Carolina which<br />
the authors admit differs from my description of B. macrosporum. Second, I am cited for pointing out the<br />
different ascospore type. This is true but this was before Egea and Torrente's (1993) treatment of<br />
Bactrospora and I was simply ignorant of the range of ascospore variation in the genus. I did comment on the<br />
identity of the ascomatal type within Bactrospora. Third, Egea and Torrente (1995) present evidence for<br />
synonymizing Melampylidium with Bactrospora. Until more convincing evidence for recognizing<br />
Melampylidium and B. macrospora as a member of the genus, I prefer to retain the species in Bactrospora.<br />
Bactrospora nematospora R. C. Harris = B. myriadea<br />
CHIODECTON Ach.<br />
Only a single species, C. malmei Thor, is in North America, and it is diagnosed in the key to genera.<br />
Two other species C. perplexum and sp. Buck 3254 would seem to belong in Syncesia Taylor (Tehler, 1993)<br />
but there is as yet no treatment of the species.<br />
CRESPONEA Egea & Torrente<br />
This genus was recently separated from Lecanactis and revised by Egea and Torrente (Mycotaxon<br />
48: 301-331. 1993). They reported C. proximata from Florida.<br />
1. Ascospores 3-4(-5)-septate, 15-22(-24) × (4-)4.5-5.5 µm; margin black, raised,<br />
cracked; disk chartreuse pruinose; Alachua County........................... C. flava (Vainio) Egea & Torrente<br />
1. Ascospores 5-7(-8)-septate, 25-38(-40) × 5-7(-7.5) µm; margin black, thick,<br />
slightly raised, ± smooth; disk chartreuse pruinose; Monroe County (Keys)...............................................<br />

NOTES<br />
Cresponea flava (Vainio) Egea & Torrente<br />
This species is close to C. chloroconia (Tuck.) Egea & Torrente. They annotated a Calkins collection,<br />
purportedly from Florida, as C. chloroconia but did not cite it in the publication. The Cresponea is associated<br />
with sterile Chaenotheca furfuracea (L.) Tibell and is surely not from Florida.<br />
Cresponea flava is new to North America. FLORIDA. Alachua County: Paynes Prairie State Preserve,<br />
vicinity of Alachua Sink, 29°37'N, 82°18'W, mixed hardwoods over limestone, 1 Dec 1992, Harris 29432 (NY).<br />
