| Abstract: | Entomophthora tabanivora sp.n. is described from a parous female of Tabanus nigrovittatus Macq. collected in Massachusetts. Conidiophores were abundant on the membranous areas of the head, thorax and anterior abdominal sternites. They were determinate, macronemous, unbranched, cream-coloured and measured 89.1 X 18.9 mu m. Primary conidia were multinucleate, broadly pyriform and measured 36.7 X 32.4 mu m. Hyphal bodies were branched, coenocytic and averaged 54.8 mu m long and 15.3 mu m wide. |
