Abstract
Apodachlyella complete (Humphrey) Indoh has been rediscovered after more than 20 years and its position as a monotypic genus of the Leptomitaceae is confirmed by its segmented hyphae containing cellulin granules and the lack of a basal cell to the mycelium. The peculiar antheridial development previously described has not been found; the antheridia are essentially the same as those of the Rhipidiaceae, which are also borne on narrow, unsegmented branches arising from segmented hyphae. It possesses certain features which resemble the homologous structures of some Sapro-legniaceae, notably the distribution of cytoplasmic parts in the mature oospore and the variable number of oospores in the oogonia. It differs from all other Saprolegniaceae and Leptomitaceae in the lack of a basal septum to the oogonium. Nonsexual reproduction has not yet been established for A. completa and merits further investigation.
