CEYLON [Nowadays Sri Lanka]. Habgalla, Feb. 1868, [M. J. Berkeley and C. E. Broome] No. 539 (K).

Remarks.

Bresadola (1916) combined Thelephora arachnoidea Berk. & Broome to Septobasidium, and the species was accepted by Couch (1938) in his detailed review of the genus. We thus have no reason to believe that this species belongs in Pseudotomentella .
