SPECIES, AUTHORITY H. felixii Elsik 1990a, p. 150, pl. 2, figs. 96a-b.
LOCATION Mid Creek Section, Bristol Bay, Alaska.
ORIG DESCRIPTION* Aseptate, psilate fungal spores ca. 14 x 23 µm overall. Spore wall ca. 0.5 µm, thickened to ca. 1 µm over the protruding ends of the spore. Outline elliptical in top view, with narrowly rounded ends. The furrow reaches within 2 µm of the ends of the spore; it is straight and parallel to the length of the spore. Outline in side view not seen. The furrow in oblique views is seen to traverse a convex surface of the spore.
COMMENTS* Hypoxylonites ramanujamii can appear to be similar but it has a shorter furrow and the outline of the spore does not protrude at the ends.

Derivation: Named in memory of Johannes Felix.
