This paper describes and illustrates five new species of Gloeandromyces (Ascomycota, Laboulbeniales) associated with tropical American bat flies (Diptera, Streblidae). These are cusucoensis sp. nov. from Trichobius uniformis in Costa Rica Honduras, G. diversiformis Strebla wiedemanni Rica, plesiosaurus yunkeri Panama, pseudodickii longipes Ecuador verbekeniae galindoi Panama. The description these doubles the number known genus. Morphological characteristics, host association, a three-locus...
Parasitism is one of the most diverse and abundant modes life, great ecological evolutionary importance. Notwithstanding, large groups parasites remain relatively understudied. One particularly unique form parasitism hyperparasitism, where a parasite parasitized itself. Bats (Chiroptera) may be by bat flies (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea), obligate blood-sucking parasites, which in turn hyperparasitic fungi, Laboulbeniales (Ascomycota: Laboulbeniomycetes). In this study, we present global...
