Abstract Two species of sooty moulds with tapering hyphae, classified in the pyrenomy-cetous genus Ophiocapnocoma, are illustrated and described; these are O. phloiophilia n. comb. (= Limacinia phloiophilia = L. multiseptata) from New Zealand, Australia, and U.S.A. (Calif., Ore., Hawaii) and O. batistae n. sp. from New Zealand. Both species produce Capnophialophora phialides; also, the first named produces a Hormiokrypsis porospore state (= H. libocedri). A porospore state is apparently lacking in O. batistae, but in this species the hyphae are capable of breaking up into fragments by a natural separation at the septa.
