Article: Cunningham, G.H. (1926). Third supplement to the Uredinaceae and Ustilaginaceae of New Zealand. Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute 56: 74-80 Wellington:.
Notes: In a former paper on the Ustilaginaceae of New Zealand (Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 55, p. 414, 1924) the name Elateromyces Bubak was used for a genus characterized by the presence of "elaters" in the sori. I find that the name Farysia was used by Raciborski for a species (F. javanica Racib.) possessing this same character, and, as Raciborski's name has priority, the three species included in Elateromyces should be cited as under FARYSIA Raciborski, Bull. Acad. Sci. Cracovic, p. 354, 1906.
