This species is correlated with Dicaeoma Nolitangeris (Corda) Arth., the telia of the two species having the same morphological characters, and the host of the short-cycled form being the same as that of the aecia of the heteroecious form. This agreement doubtless indicates a common origin. On Adoxaceae:
Adoxa mosckatelUna L., Colorado, Utah.
Type I/Ocality: Near Geneva, Switzerland, on Adoxa moschatellina.
Distribution: Central Colorado to southeastern Utah; also in Europe.
