Resumen

Osborn F. 2002. Primer reporte de un microsporidio parasítico en larvas de Hylesia metabus check for this species in other resources Cramer, 1775 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae). Entomotropica 17(2):185-188.

Se reporta por primera vez la presencia de un microsporidio en larvas de Hylesia metabus Crammer, 1775, colectadas de los manglares cerca del pueblo de Yaguaraparo, Municipio Cajigal, Estado Sucre. El microsporidio tiene características similares a las del género Orthosomella: son uninucleares y en contacto directo con el citoplasma del hospedero, la espora es cilíndrica y el filamento polar es isofilar. Sin embargo, falta información sobre el tipo de esporogénesis en la especie nueva lo que es diagnóstico para Orthosomella. Por lo tanto se propone que la especie sea colocada como "cercana a" Orthosomella.

Palabras-clave
Entomopatógeno, parasitismo, Protozoa.

Abstract

Osborn F. 2002. First report of a parasitic microsporidium of Hylesia metabus check for this species in other resources Cramer, 1775 larvae (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae). Entomotropica 17(2):185-188.

A first report is made of a microsporidium from Hylesia metabus Crammer, 1775 larvae, collected from mangrove swamps close to the village of Yaguaraparo, Municipio Cajigal, Sucre state. The microsporidium shares some characteristics with Orthosomella: they are uninuclear and in direct contact with the host cytoplasm, the spore is cylindrical and the polar filament is isofilar. Nevertheless, information about the type of sporogeny is lacking, which is diagnostic for Orthosomella. I therefore propose that the species be placed as "near" Orthosomella.

Keywords
