“…Fourteen species of Laboulbeniomycetes that are obligatorily associated with arthropods were described from beetles, cockroaches, termites, flies (including the ectoparasitic bat flies), and true bugs (De Kesel & Haelewaters, 2019; Dogonniuck, Squires, & Weir, 2019; Haelewaters & Pfister, 2019; Haelewaters, Pfliegler, Gorczak, & Pfister, 2019b; Hyde et al, 2019; Song et al, 2019). A recent advance in taxonomic studies of these elusive fungi results from morphometry and molecular phylogeny (e.g., Haelewaters, De Kesel, et al, 2019; Haelewaters, De Kesel, & Pfister, 2018; Sundberg, Kruys, Bergsten, & Ekman, 2018).…”
