Cryptophiale aristata sp.nov., C. kakombensis, C. secunda sp.nov . and C . udagawae are described and illustrated from Malaysia.
The genus Cryptophiale was erected by Pirozynski (1968) to accommodate C. kakombensis Pirozynski and C . udagawae Pirozynski & Ichinoe. The presence of two rows of phialides, one on each side of the setiform conidiophores, obscured by shieldshaped outgrowths of sterile cells located in the subapical region of the conidiophore was the principal criterion in delimiting the genus. Four more species of Cryptophiale, including C. guadalcanalense Matsushima (1971), C. iriomoteanum Matsushima (1975), C. manifesta Sutton & Hodges (1976) and C. minor Farr (1980), have since been described. Except for C. udagawae which has a short stubby appendage at the distal end of the conidia, none ofthe other species of Cryptophiale are known to have appendaged conidia. The six species known have the shield of sterile cells obscuring the phialides. In addition to C. kakombens is and C. udagawae, two other hitherto undescribed species of Cryptophiale have been isolated from dead leaves of dipterocarp trees in the coastal areas of Malaysia. One of these species (C. aristata ) has a shield of sterile cells and two rows of phialides, one on each side of the setiform conidiophore. The broad conidiophore, however, scarcely extends beyond the conidiogenous region and each conidium has a single distinct flexuous appendage at the distal end. The other species (C. secunda) has a single row of phialides on only one side of the setiforrn conidiophore, and the phialides are not obscured by a shield-shaped outgrowth of sterile cells . The presence or absence of a shield appears not to be of overriding importance within the generic concept of Cryptophiale. Even with C. udagawa e, for example, some conidiophores bearing isolated, lateral phialides each fringed with a distinct collarette and not obscured by the shield have been observed (Pirozynski, 1968). We propose therefore that the two undescribed species be accommodated within Cryptophiale without revision of the generic limits.

The absence of a sterile sh ield obscuring the conidiogenous region and the presence of a single row of phialides on only one side of the setiform conidiophores separates C. secunda from any of the described species of Cryptophiale . To some extent it resembles C. manifesto Sutton & Hodges (1976) which has a partial shield that does not, however, cover the conidiogenous cells. The alternative place for this species might be Cha etopsina Rambelli which is already a heterogeneous genus with dematiaceous and nectriaceous species where ' phialides' may be, but not exclusively so, inserted directly on the setiform main stipe.

Cryptophiale udagawae was described by Pirozynski ( 19 6 8) from fallen leaves of Quercus glauca collected in Ki yosumi, Japan. It has since been reported from decaying leaves of Araucaria hunsteinii from Bulolo, Papua New Guinea (M atsushima, 1971 ) and on leaves of Quercus phillyraeoides and Castanea crenata in Japan (M atsushima, 19 75 ) . The present collection is reported as a new member of the Malaysian mycoflora. We are grateful to Professor J. Webster for his helpful comments and to Mr W. H.

Cryptophiale aristata sp.nov., C. kakombensis, C. secunda sp.nov . and C . udagawae are described and illustrated from Malaysia.
The genus Cryptophiale was erected by Pirozynski (1968) to accommodate C. kakombensis Pirozynski and C . udagawae Pirozynski & Ichinoe. The presence of two rows of phialides, one on each side of the setiform conidiophores, obscured by shieldshaped outgrowths of sterile cells located in the subapical region of the conidiophore was the principal criterion in delimiting the genus. Four more species of Cryptophiale, including C. guadalcanalense Matsushima (1971), C. iriomoteanum Matsushima (1975), C. manifesta Sutton & Hodges (1976) and C. minor Farr (1980), have since been described. Except for C. udagawae which has a short stubby appendage at the distal end of the conidia, none ofthe other species of Cryptophiale are known to have appendaged conidia. The six species known have the shield of sterile cells obscuring the phialides. In addition to C. kakombens is and C. udagawae, two other hitherto undescribed species of Cryptophiale have been isolated from dead leaves of dipterocarp trees in the coastal areas of Malaysia. One of these species (C. aristata ) has a shield of sterile cells and two rows of phialides, one on each side of the setiform conidiophore. The broad conidiophore, however, scarcely extends beyond the conidiogenous region and each conidium has a single distinct flexuous appendage at the distal end. The other species (C. secunda) has a single row of phialides on only one side of the setiforrn conidiophore, and the phialides are not obscured by a shield-shaped outgrowth of sterile cells . The presence or absence of a shield appears not to be of overriding importance within the generic concept of Cryptophiale. Even with C. udagawa e, for example, some conidiophores bearing isolated, lateral phialides each fringed with a distinct collarette and not obscured by the shield have been observed (Pirozynski, 1968). We propose therefore that the two undescribed species be accommodated within Cryptophiale without revision of the generic limits.
