Hi everyone, I am looking for the following protologue:Stictis phragmitis Lobik. Materialy po floristicheskim i faunisticheskim obsledovaniyam Terskogo okruga. Pyatigorsk. 1 vol., 1928. Page 27.
BPH abbreviation: Mater. Florist. Faunist. Obsl. Tersk. Okr.
I'm not sure if there is a copy of this in America? It may be very obscure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I wish you good luck to find this Caucasian publication...
Maybe it helps to have the full quote in Russian:

Re : Literature request
Does anyone read Russian and would be willing to give me a translation of the protologue of Stictis phragmitis and the figure caption?

Re : Literature request
Hi Jason,
great you got this!
The quality of the OCR in this file is neglectable. My Russian is limited but I can read it. So I typed this short text. The result with a Google-translation (seems to be OK) attached.
Best regards
Martin

Re : Literature request
Hi Martin,
This is great! Thank you so much for this work. I tried typing it into Google translate but it was so slow and not a good result that I posted it here. I'm glad that you were able to help. Because this work is difficult to find, I wonder if I can try posting the transcription and translation that you provided to MycoBank and Index Fungorum? I don't know if they'll do this sort of thing, but it's worth asking. Please let me know and I'll reach out to them. It seems that this is an actual species of Stictis.
Kind regards, Jason

Re : Literature request
Hi Jason,
please feel free to do with it whatever you want. I can imagine that IF and MB will be happy to recieve the original document. The translation should be doublechecked by a native speaker.

Re : Literature request
Thank you, Martin. I'll make sure to attach a note that it should be checked.
Kind regards, and thank you once again for your help. This resolved my question about what this fungus is. It is probably a true Stictis species or something close.

Re : Literature request
Hi Jason
"Spores ... disintegrating into separate small segments" (from the translation of the protologue of Stictis phragmitis) reminds me of Stictis dissociativus nom. prov. described (but not formally published as new species) by Gunther van Ryckegem (2005)*: Fungi on common reed (Phragmites australis). Fungal diversity, community structure and decompositions processes.

The former website of this study (including figures of many species) can still be found at
https://web.archive.org/web/20060502015719/http://intramar.ugent.be/nemys/fungi/web/Phragmiticolous%20fungi.asp
and the description of the mentioned Stictis at: https://web.archive.org/web/20060519034351/http://intramar.ugent.be/nemys/fungi/species.asp?t=207
It has also been found in the Netherlands:
https://www.verspreidingsatlas.nl/0770080
It could refer to the same species. I didn't check the other features.

Re : Literature request
Hi Martin and Eduard,
Martin, the PDF of the protologue and your translation are posted in MycoBank at: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.mycobank.org/MB/253953__;!!DZ3fjg!_6hoRs70_9LGsmHmzRcviFJeWfi76I1tAZWN-bim7XZ63H08z3Q0mFZi4gmtTn1kyII01tX0ZJiOUIOO53f37ye2$
Thank you, Eduard, for the information! I was just checking to see if this wasn't another name for Phragmiticola phragmitis, but it seems to be a true Stictis species
Kind regards, Jason
