The ant-specific fungi Aegeritella, Laboulbenia, Rickia, Hormiscium, and Myrmicinosporidium in the Holarctic region—nine species—are reviewed. Present knowledge is highly biased geographically, as shows single record for Asia, this to solve. phylogenetic position of Hormiscium , unknown. Hosts seem be also skewed phylogenetically although may a true pattern.

We describe four new species: D. lusitanipodos parasitic on Lusitanipus from Portugal Cyphocallipus Spain, veneris Portugal, T. botryandrus Leptoiulus Italy rossii Ophyiulus, Typhloiulus Italy. is a dimorphic species, with different morphotypes growing the male copulatory organs surroundings of female gonopore respectively. type species both also have been studied, their...

Laboulbeniales are well known ectoparasites of insects. Among arachnids they were only parasitizing mites. A new genus Laboulbeniales, with one species, Opilionomyces dicranolasmatis, is described for fungi Dicranolasma harvestmen (Opiliones) collected in Turkey and Greece. The characterized by the uniseriate receptacle divided into two parts, below perithecium as a pedicel above row cells adnate following dorsal side perithecium. three upper tiers wall equal height but shorter than lower...

Three new species of Aporomyces (Laboulbeniomycetes) parasitic on beetles from Ecuador are described. These A. aequatorialis, Byrrhinus near B. plenus (Limnichidae); benjaminii, Plagiogramma sp. (Histeridae); and maximus, cf. maculatus. A key to all the in genus is given.

AbstractEighteen species of Stigmatomyces are reported for the first time from continental Portugal and/or Azores. These asteiae W. Rossi et Cesari, athyroglossae Stigmatomycescanzonerii ceratophorus Whisler, constrictus Thaxt., crassicollis divergatus discocerinae ensinae cf. ephydrae L. Mercier R. A.

The presence of zygospores in the genus Orphella is newly described. We found three species genus, O. catalaunica, coronata and helicospora, which are all known from Iberian territory. Zygospores associated with a heterothallic conjugating sexual process coronata, whereas catalaunica they form homothallically. In instances, consistently an organized pattern sterile cells, forming structures comparable to those present asexual trichospores. compare ontogeny that harpellid Genistellospora...

In this new series of Fungal Biodiversity Profiles, the authors describe three Laboulbeniales (Ascomycota) based on morphology, viz. Corethromyces gibbosus W. Rossi & Santam., sp. nov., C. marshallii nov. and Diphymyces torresii Agaricomycotina (Basidiomycota), morphological features multigene phylogenetic analyses support description Cantharellus albidosquamosus Buyck, T. Henkel V. Hofst., (Cantharellales), while morphology ITS sequence data Gomphidius pseudoglutinosus K. Das, Hembrom, A....

A study of larval Diptera (Chironomidae, Culicidae and Simuliidae) from Spain has been carried out to fulfill a catalogue species the genus Smittium (Harpellales: Legeriomycetaceae) present within these hosts. Among reported taxa, eight are new species: brevisporum, S. bulbosporo-phorus, gracilis, hecatei, heterosporum, inex-pectans, prostratum pseudodimorphum. We also report six previously described species, which for Iberian Peninsula: alpinum, dipterorum, megazygosporum, pusillum,...

The species of Rhachomyces parasitizing the cave-dwelling genera Aphaenops, Geotrechus and Hydraphaenops (Trechini) from Pyrenees (France Spain) are studied. Examination many collections revision literature reveal that five involved. aphaenopsis is most common a fairly variable species, including synonyms R. dedyi jeannelii. Previous reports other taxa like hypogaeus, stipitatus, stipitatus var. pallidus maublancii must be removed list Pyrenean parasites Trechini beetles as they also refer...

Abstract An approach to ensure effective pest biocontrol would be select native isolates of biological control agents (BCAs). A survey isolate entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) from a hazelnut growing area has been carried out. EPF were recovered 133 the 295 soil samples. The main species isolated Metarhizium anisopliae sensu lato (36%) and Beauveria bassiana (42.8%). With regard controlling abiotic factors, altitude had an effect on distribution B. bassiana, but not M. anisopliae. Cropping...

Laboulbeniales are highly specialized arthropod-associated fungi. The majority of the almost 2200 known species live on insects, although they also occur other arthropod hosts. Recently, number associated with millipedes has increased considerably. Here we describe first a fungus,

Abstract Laboulbeniales are a highly specialized group of fungi living only on arthropods. They have high host specificity and spend their entire life-cycle an arthropod host. Taxonomic characters based the architecture cells parenchymal thallus, i.e. visible part fungus outside The extent spreading inside host—the haustorium—remains largely unknown. attachment to is fundamental understand fungus-animal interaction, but how this truly occurs unclear. Recent evidences question strictly...

Baetimyces, belonging to the Legeriomycetaceae, is described here as a new genus. Its single species, B. ancorae, has been found growing in hindgut of mayfly nymphs genus Baetis (Ephemeroptera, Baetidae) inhabiting Pyrenean Mountains canal-stream from northeastern region Iberian Peninsula. The characterized by having trichospores with two thick appendages unequal length, and zygospores perpendicularly medially attached zygosporophore. may be related Glotzia, Legeriomyes, Zygopolaris,...

Laboulbeniales are highly specific ectoparasitic fungi of arthropods (insects, millipedes, and arachnids). The first parasitizing the millipede order Chordeumatida (Diplopoda) were discovered described as a new dioecious genus Laboulbeniales, Thaxterimyces, to accommodate species T. baliensis. Also host is Metopidiothrix sheari. This time fungus its together. Males have most extensive secondary sexual modifications in entire class Diplopoda. Although nothing known about function these...
