Fungal parasites of rotifers: two new verticillate endoparasites with aerial conidiophores

摘要

Diheterospora rotiferorumandDiheterospora ovisporaare described as new species endoparasitic on bdelloid rotifers belonging toPhilodinaandAdineta. In both species resting spores (aleuriospores) are produced underwater and disseminative spores (phialoconidia) are produced from aerial conidiophores.Verticillium reniformisandAcrostalagmus tagenophorus, also endoparasites of rotifers, are transferred to the genusDiheterospora.
