“…Laboulbeniales previously reported on Cicindelinae are only two, Laboulbenia variabilis Thaxt., parasitic on Tetracha fulgida (Klug) and T. pilosipennis (Mandl) from Ecuador and Laboulbenia phaeoxanthae W. Rossi et Arndt, parasitic on Phaeoxantha aequinoctialis bifasciata (Brullé) from Brazil (Arndt, Rossi and Zerm 2003). The three species of Laboulbenia occurring on tiger beetles are very different from one another.…”

Ten new species of Laboulbenia from Ecuador are described. These are L. barraganii, parasitic on Platamops sp. (Salpingidae); L. biformis, parasitic on Diploharpus rossii Moret (Carabidae); L. davidsonii, parasitic on Odontocheila spp. (Carabidae); L. gregaria, parasitic on Philonthus sp. (Staphylinidae); L. micrandra, parasitic on Lobrathium sp. (Staphylinidae); L. mycotreti, parasitic on Mycotretus spp. (Erotylidae); L. opima, parasitic on Chrysodinopsis sp. (Chrysomelidae); L. otongaensis, parasitic on Diploharpus iridescens Moret (Carabidae); L. tapiae, parasitic on Priocera sp. (Cleridae); and L. trogacti, parasitic on Trogactus sp. (Staphylinidae). Laboulbenia barraganii is the first of the Laboulbeniales to be reported on beetles of the family Salpingidae. L. biformis displays a moderate dimorphism associated with the position on the host insect. L. davidsonii, which is very different from the other species of Laboulbenia reported so far on the Cicindelinae but similar to a group of species parasitic on Galerita spp., provides evidence for the occurrence of host switch in Laboulbeniales.

“…Host shifts have been suggested for morphologically similar Laboulbenia species between Cicindelinae and other Car- abidae living in the same habitat (Arndt et al 2003, Rossi 2011), and De Kesel and Haelewaters (2014 provide morphological and ecological data to support the hypothesis that a species of Laboulbenia shifted between Carabidae and Staphylinidae. To explain the extremely small size of Rickia lenoirii on Messor spp.…”

An important group of fungal insect parasites is the Laboulbeniales (Ascomycota). These are microscopic in size and live attached to the cuticle of their arthropod hosts. Rickia wasmannii is a common European species limited to the ant genus Myrmica (Hymenoptera, Formicidae). We present new records of R. wasmannii in the Netherlands on three host species: Myrmica ruginodis, M. sabuleti, and M. scabrinodis. Our data show a mass infection of M. sabuleti by R. wasmannii. The average parasite prevalence is 38% (n = 3,876). The prevalence was much lower on the other Myrmica species. So far, R. wasmannii infections have been found only on Myrmica species in the rubra-group and the scabrinodis-group. We provide possible explanations for this observation. To date, Rickia wasmannii is known on nine Myrmica species in sixteen European countries; an overview is included in tabulated form.

“…In the 20th century, field observations and the description of Neotropical tiger beetle behavior and habitat associations increasingly became a focus of attention (Pearson, 1988). General natural history of a single species (Palmer, 1976a(Palmer, , 1981Guerra, 1993;Knisley & Hoback, 1994;Amorim et al, 1997b;Jolivet, 2001) or groups of species (Zikan, 1929;Pearson et al, 1995) were followed with field observations and descriptions of mating behavior (Rodríguez, 1998(Rodríguez, , 2000, habitat specialization (Cassola & Pearson, 1999), larval enemies (Palmer, 1976b;Krombein & Evans, 1976;Krombein, 1979;Palmer, 1982;Schultz, 1994;Arndt & Costa, 2001;Arndt et al, 2003), mimicry (Acorn, 1988), seasonality (Wille & Michener, 1962;Irmler, 1981;Zerm & Adis, 2004), and declining species (Desender et al, 1992;Cassola & Pearson, 2000;.…”
