Abstract
An unusual loculoascomycete with superficial, setose ascomata, two-spo red, fissitunicate asci and large, dictyosporous ascospores surrounded by a gelatinous sheath is described in the genus Boerlagiomyces (Tube ufiaceae, Pleosporales). This species is known only from rivers in low er latitudes in North America and may be a warm water species.
