BARR, D. J. S. 1971. Morphology and taxonomy of Entophlyctis cor~fervae-glo~~zer-atae (Chytridiales) and related species. Can. J. Bot. 49: 2215-2222. Culture studies of Entopfzlyctis co~~Jervae-glonzerafne (Cienkowski) Sparrow showed that this chytrid was saprophytic on a wide range of plant matter including pine pollen, leaves, algae, and fungi. Morphological variation was so marked that many taxonomic criteria proved valueless and several synonyms are therefore suggested. A comparison with other species and genera is made. It is proposed that Entophlyctis include four species which are saprophytic on plant matter (E. co~fervae-glonzeratae, E. texana Karling, E. pyg,naea (Serbinow) Sparrow, and E. crenata Karling); a chitinophilic species (E. lobata Willoughby & Townley); and three species parasitic on algae (E. apiclllata (Braun) Fischer, E. ~tzolesta Canter, and E. retic~tlospora Cook).
