Literature, a hopeful repost of a request.

I am struggling with the original German text, and I would be delighted if someone could provide a copy of:
Keys to the genera of amerospored and didymospored pyrenomycetes / from J. A. von Arx & E. Mu?ller; translated into English by G. B. Butterfill.

Re : Literature, a hopeful repost of a request.
Many thanks, Chris,
I do not have any excuse now. For three weeks, I have been torturing a pale brown,long-necked aseptate, hyaline spored pyreno on Lonicera and I have got nowhere with it. I will now see if I can get somewhere using Butterfill's keys. Unfortunately, I think I must be overlooking the blindingly obvious, so I am hoping I will see it, if I approach from a different key/route. Failing that I will be making the effort and posting some images here!

Hi Simon
Identificaton of many pyrenomycetes is often difficult because the literature is scattered, many species are not covered by a recent revision and many new species haven been described in recent years.
You could try the key in the following paper that includes a selection of long-necked species ("morphologically similar wood-inhabiting fungi classified in the Sordariomycetidae") that can be encountered in Europe:
Réblová, M. (2013) Two taxonomic novelties in the Sordariomycetidae: Ceratolenta caudata gen. et sp. nov. and Platytrachelon abietis gen. et comb. nov. for Ceratosphaeria abietis. Mycologia 105: 462-475.
Ceratolenta caudata is one of those new species which have also been found in the Netherlands.
Cheers Eduard
