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- and microscopic study of 45 Myxomycetes collected on the Peninsula of Baja California, Mexico. This part treats 21 taxa, in alphabetical oder, from Hemitrichia clavata (Pers.) Rostaf. to Trichia varia (J.F. Gmelin) Pers. SEM photographs of spores and capillitial threads are provided. The following taxa are new to Mexico: Hemitrichia minor G. Lister, Licea biforis Morgan, L. variabilis Schrad., Physarum contextum (Pers.) Pers., P. viride var. aurantium (Pers.) Lister and P. viride var. incanum Lister. We propose the synonymy of Mucilago crustacea F.H. Wigg. var, crustacea and M. crustacea var. solida Sturgis. We also propose the following two new combination: Mucilago dictyospora. (R. E. Fr.) Lizarraga, G. Moreno & Illana. Hemitrichia serpula (Scop.) Lister var. parviverrucospora Lizarraga, Illana & G. Moreno is described as new to science.
