A monograph of Hyaloscypha and allied genera

“…This delimitation has been widely accepted (Nannfeldt 1932, Dennis 1949, B~hler 1974, Raschle 1977). Svreek's concept is basically the same, but he has admitted a more rounded type of excipulum into the genus (SVItek 1967(SVItek , 1976(SVItek , 1985.…”

“…with a brown excipulum. This treatment was later followed by Dennis (1949). Seven new species were added to the genus in later papers ofVelenovsky (1940,1947).…”

“…Seven new species were added to the genus in later papers ofVelenovsky (1940,1947). Dennis (1949) treated Hyaloscypha in detail and stressed both the nomenclatural problem caused by Nannfeldt and the problems of species delimitation. He largely followed Nannfeldt (1932Nannfeldt ( , 1936Nannfeldt ( , 1939, but admitted that the genus was artificial.…”
