Abstract: Nineteen species of myxomycetes are reported from Dares Salaam, Oyster Bay. The following taxa are new to Tanzania: Licea kleistobolus G. W. Martin, Physarum echinosporum Lister, P. oblatum T. Macbr., and P. spumarioides T. N. Lakh. & Mukerji var. degawae Nann.-Bremek. & Y. Yamam., the latter taxon being reported from Africa for the first time. A species of Licea is described with illustrations, but not named, as the material existing is fairly scanty. A total of 27 specimens of seven genera are presented, all developed in moist chamber cultures on bark from living trees or on plant remains.
