Plate 3, figure 29

Colonies very small, 15-25 m diam., containing 16-32 or more
cells, spherical to more or less lobed; cells 0.9 to 1.2 y diam.,
1.5-2 times as long as the diam., pale aeruginous to yellowish
green; colonial tegument hyaline or slightly opalescent; single
cells, or groups of 2 or more, surrounded by a relatively firm,
very distinctly delimited, thick, dark-violet tegument, but not
lamellose; as the cells become aged the color disappears in part.
Growing among other species of Myxophyceae on limestone,

between Arecibo and Utuado, no. 1465 a, type.

The above-described species of Gloeothece structurally is on
the border between the genera Anacystis and Gloeothece. The
special or individual teguments appear to be fused with the gen-
eral colonial tegument at times, as it does in some species of
Anacystis but apparently no resting spores are produced, at
least-none could be found in the material under the stage of de-
velopment in which it was found. It is also very closely related
to certain species of Gloeocapsa of the Cyanocapsa section, but
the presence of cylindrical cells which seem to divide in but one

plane and then rotate within the colony before the next division
would ally it with the genus Gloeothece.
