In the appendix of the Hyphochytriomycetes in my opus Chytriodiomycetarum Iconographia (1977), I failed by oversight to include Artemtchuk's (1972) genus Elina, and this brief note is presented to correct this omission as well as to raise some questions about the validity of this genus. Elina was created for two species, E. marisalba and E. sinorifica growing on Pinus pollen in the White Sea, USSR, species which Artemtchuk placed in the family Rhizidiomycetaceae next to Rhizidiomycopsis. These two eucarpic species are characterized primarily by delimitation and movements of the zoospores in the sporangium and the subsequent dissolution of the sporangium wall to free the zoospores. In this writer's opinion, these characteristics are questionable generic distinctions. In most of the anisochytrids the sporeplasm emerges to the outside of the sporangium and undergoes cleavage into zoospores, but in many of them cleavage and maturation occur within the sporangium if the tip of the exit tube or papilla fails to deliquesce and open. Also, cleavage and maturation may occur partly within and outside of the sporangium even when exit orifices are open (Karling, 1939, 1943, 1944, 1945, 1964a, b, 1967, 1968). In Anisolpidium elongatum Karling (1976) also, the zoospores may become actively motile in the sporangium when cleavage is endogenous. Sparrow (1960) created two new genera, Canteromyces and Rhizidiomycopsis, on the basis of whether cleavage and delimitation of zoospores occurs outside or within the sporangium, respectively. The present author (1977) merged these genera, respectively, with Anisolpidium and Rhizidiomyces on the grounds that he believed that place of cleavage and maturation of the zoospores in the anisochytrids are specific instead of generic characters. As to the second main characteristic of Elina, namely, dissolution of the sporangial wall thereby freeing the zoospores, as a generic character,
