ABSTRACT
An examination of numerous collections (including type material) of Physarum alpinum (Myxomycetes or Mycetozoa) showed that this taxon, as currently circumscribed, encompasses two distinct entities. One of these is segregated and described here as a new species, P. alpestre. The two species are described, illustrated, compared, and contrasted.
