Shropshiria Stevens, gen. nov. Sori on the periphery of sclerotioid stromata, open, bordered by sterile peridia; conidiophores long, simple, bearing the conidia laterally. Conidia 1-celled, globose, smoky. Named in honor of Mr. J. B. Shropshire in recognition of his helpful interest in the biologic sciences in the Panama Canal Zone. Shropshiria Chusqueae Stevens, sp. nov. Sporiferous stromata caulicolous, globose, or subglobose to irregularly oblong, brown to gray or black, 3-8 mm. in diameter, roughened over the entire surface by the projecting spore columns. Sporogenous cups about 15O-180 ll wide at the open mouth, about 230 ll deep, and dark bordered on sides and bottom. Sterile space between cups 150-230 ll. The rind between the sori in surface view, microscopically, is light brown in color and made up of cells of quite uniform size, about 3-4 ll in diameter and having a pseudo-parenchymoid appearance. Conidiophores arising from the brown base of the cup, hyaline, parallel and straight, slender, simple, septate, about 2 ix thick, 250 jx long. The spores are borne laterally on the distal ends of the conidiophores. Conidia smoky, globose, dark in mass, 3 ll m diameter. On Chusquea simpliciflora. Panama. Brazos Brook reservoir, 9-22-1924.
