SUMMARY
No evidence of sporangia or zoöspores has been found in my material, and I am accordingly of the opinion of Lohde, Zopf, and Dangeard that Harposporium Anguillulae and P. multiformis are identical and that the latter binomial should be stricken from the chytrid group, as Zopf, Fischer (3), Minden (7), and others have done. Schroeter (9), Saccardo (8), and Migula (6), however, recognize it as valid. Schroeter and Migula in particular include it in the family Hypochytriaceae of the chytrids, while Fitzpatrick (4) regards it as a doubtful genus.
In our present state of knowledge, H. Anguillulae is a hyphomycetous species, and because of its hyaline mycelium, conidia, and chlamydospores belongs in the family Mucidinaceae. Although the conidia are not particularly long, they are nevertheless scolecosporus and should, in my opinion, be included in that spore division.
