Composition. They Seem to have a wide ecological plastici ty. because at least in Nepat the fame species osten occurs in different forest types. Humidi ty and thecondition of the rotten wood might be important limiting factors. rather than thetree species. It is striking that in Nepai. Uloma has been actualty found only in subtropical forest and agri cultural land below l000 m. just as in motintainous mixed forests up to 2800 m. but is obvio us ly lacking in subal pine Ahies Rhododendron fore sis above 3000 m. Uloma scitia is described frona Sri Lanka. i. e. Dona tropical forests whichmight be similar also in the northeasteria Indian Meghalay a. But the Same specieS at least with the present taxonomic knowledge) is recorded here in also homdrier motintainous forests of the western Himalayas with a qui te different composition os trees. Uloma rubrmes silows a wider ecological spectrum too, in Nepalit is recorded fro in subtropical forests of altitudes below l000 m but also stomquite different mountainous forests up to 2800 m. I found rubripes in the Myagdi hola valley in a forest at about l400 m altitude in a rotten PinuS log. Uloma olita with iis wide distribution in the Oriental region in Nepat is an element on lyof the lowland Zones up to about l000 m, here occuring in native fore sis just as inculti valed land with single trees. The number of Uloma species in the Hima layas increases hom west to east. This generat statement is valid for many groups of planis and animais, based main ly on different ecological conditions sin particular higher humidi ty in theeast) and different Zoogeographical origin. Concerning Uloma, it cannot yet bedecided whether ali species have penetrated in to the young upri Sing Himalayas and Dona which Zoogeographical region or is they or at least sonae of them have evolved locatly by new i solations frona an ancient penetrating ancestor. Their phylogenetical relations are stili unknown.
