Comatricha lurida Lister, Monogr. View in CoL Mycetozoa, ed. 1, 119 (1894)

≡ Collaria lurida (Lister) Nann. -Bremek., Nederlandse Myxomyceten (Zutphen) 236 (1975)

Type:— UNITED KINGDOM, England, Dorset, Lyme Regis, on dead leaves, 12 February 1892, A. Lister BM 1399 [ BM 001088436 = box, BM 001247191 = slide, BM 001247199 = SEM stub].

Comatricha rubens was described by Lister (1894) from the same locality and habitat as C. lurida . It differs from C. lurida mainly by the reddish color of the sporocarp, reddish-lilac colour and smaller size (7–8 μm) diam. of the spores. Our observations confirm the distinctively larger size in the spores of C. lurida (av. 9.5 μm) with an overlap only in the lowermost extreme values.
