Note：
Megacapitula villosa in some respects shows similarity to Piricauda cochinensis (Subram.) Ellis, Acrodictys appendiculata Ellis, Monodictys lepraria (Berk.) Ellis, Bioco-niosporium baccharidis Batista & Bezerra, Pseudopetrakia kambakkamensis (Subram.) Ellis, and Berk-leasmium concinnum (Berk.) Hughes. However, conidiogenous cells of P. cochinensis are monotretic, often clavate, short, cicatrized with a well-defined pore in the middle of each dark scar. These characteristics are never present in M. villosa. In addition, the conidia of P. cochinensis are much smaller and their appendages are fewer and shorter than in M. villosa. The distinction between them is noticeable. Though the conidia of M. lepraria, B. baccharidis and P. kambakkamensis are also muriform in common with M. vil-losa, the gross features of the former three species are markedly different from the latter, for instance, in the aspects of prominent apical protuberances, polar subulate spines, or short appendages, also the conidial sizes and shapes are much smaller (Ellis, 1976). Based on fructifications, clamp-connexions, sporodochia, conidiogenous cells, appendages and co-nidial morphology, M. villosa can resemble several genera.
