Notes.
This species was previously known from Costa Rica (
Lichtwardt1997
), Spain (
Valle and Santamaria 2004
), Dominican Republic (Valle and Cafaro, 2010) and Mexico (
Valle et al. 2011
) in the tract of
Simuliidae
and
Chironomidae
. Bulgarian specimens were associated with
Chironomidae
midges (
Chironomus
sp.). They had cylindrical-elongated trichospores measuring 16-19
x
3-4
µm
, with a short collar about 2.5
µm
, slightly flared outwards. The thallus is branched at the base, with verticillate apical branching (Fig.
17
). Each fertile branch has 4-6 generative cells. Specimens from Bulgaria resemble most of those described from Spain.
