SEM studies of the Myxomycetes from the peninsula of Baja California (Mexico), II. Hemitrichia to Trichia

In two papers, of which this is the second, the authors present a macro- an d microscopic study of 45 Myxomycetes collected on the Peninsula of Baja Ca lifornia, Mexico. This part treats 21 taxa, in alphabetical oder, from Hemi trichia clavata (Pers.) Rostaf. to Trichia varia (J.F. Gmelin) Pers. SEM ph otographs of spores and capillitial threads are provided. The following tax a are new to Mexico: Hemitrichia minor G. Lister, Licea biforis Morgan, L. variabilis Schrad., Physarum contextum (Pers.) Pers., P. viride var. aurant ium (Pers.) Lister and P. viride var. incanum Lister. We propose the synony my of Mucilago crustacea F.H. Wigg. var, crustacea and M. crustacea var. so lida Sturgis. We also propose the following two new combination: Mucilago d ictyospora. (R. E. Fr.) Lizarraga, G. Moreno & Illana. Hemitrichia serpula (Scop.) Lister var. parviverrucospora Lizarraga, Illana & G. Moreno is desc ribed as new to science.
