ResumoAn historical revision is made of the problem of Cladosporia isolated from cases of Chromoblastomycosis in various parts of the world, leading to the conclusion that the diverse strains isolated correspond to a single new species, whose description is given after a detailed study of seven strains which the author was able to study personally. The characters are also given which separate the new species from the other saprophytic members of the genus, and from C. trichoides, isolated from brain abscesses in the U.S.A. The new species of chromoblastomycosis-causing fungus is named Cladosporium carrionii in honor of the illustrious Porto Rican mycologist Prof. Arturo L. Carrion.
