Dermatea nidulariformis Rea in Trans. Brit. mycol. Soc. 5: 256 (1916). The badly preserved type, said to have been yellowish when fresh, is now dark sooty brown, about 3 mm. diameter, sessile, cupulate, with the surface of the receptacle corrugated but neither pruinose nor pulverulent. The ascus wall is blued by Melzer's reagent and the eight broadly elliptical ascospores, I3-14 x 8P (I4-17 x 9-Io/k according to Rea) are covered with coarse, closely spaced warts; the paraphyses are straight, enlarged to about 4[L wide at the apex.
