Abstract
Two interesting Hyphomycetes isolated from horse dung from Mussoorie, Uttar Pradesh, India, are described. Gliophragma setosum gen. et sp. nov. is a synnematous form with slimy, solitary, hyaline blastospores (phragmospores); the cells of the spore are produced by acropetal budding. The synnema is adnate to a seta and also bears smaller seta-like processes along with the conidiophores (free ends of hyphae of synnema). Another fungus producing staurospores closely similar in basic ontogeny to the spores of G. setosum, but on mononematous conidiophores, is classified in the genus Speiropsis Tubaki as S. hyalospora sp. nov. Both genera may be placed in the family Torulaceae Corda emend. Subram.
