Comatricha pulchella (C. Bab.) Rostaf., Sluzowce View in CoL monogr. suppl. 27 (1876)

= Comatricha persoonii var. fusca Lister, J. Bot., Lond. View in CoL 35: 215 (1897)

= C. pulchella var. fusca (Lister) G. Lister View in CoL , in Lister, Monogr. Mycetozoa, ed. 2 156 (1911).

Syntype:— UNITED KINGDOM, England, Essex, Greater London, Wanstead Park, on dead leaves under brambles, September 1896, A. Lister BM 1715 [BM001089759 = box, BM001247190 = slide, BM001247198 = SEM stub].

Lister (1911) separated Comatricha pulchella var. fusca from C. pulchella var. pulchella by its more rigid, purplish brown capillitium and pale greyish brown spores from C. pulchella var. fusca . However both names are now seen as synonyms ( Lado 2005 –2017) and our observations on the surface structure of the spores by SEM confirm this view.
