As a result of the revision of herbarium material of the genera Stephanospora Pat., Hydnangium Wallr. ex Klotzsch and Octaviania Vittad., four spec ies of Stephanospora has been identified, viz. S.

Penangensis Corner et Hawker, are excluded frorn the genus Stephanospora . We afford the updated synonymy, a detailed description, a.M. pictures and a determination key for all the surveyed species. In the case of S.

We afford also new data confirming the relation ship between the genera Stephanospora Pat. and Lindtneria Pilát.
