The brief history ofAcrodictysM. B. Ellis is reviewed and two new species from rotting bark ofPopulusare described and illustrated.Acrodictys fuliginosan. sp. is characterized by non-proliferating conidiophores and obovate, shining-black conidia with three transverse and three to six longitudinal septa. InAcrodictys excentrican. sp. a succession of variably shaped shining-black conidia is formed from the long, readily proliferating conidiophores. Conidia are typically five-celled, one of the two apparently lateral pale brown inflated cells is the recurved apical conidium cell and the other is separated from the basal conidium cell by a longitudinal septum.
