Abstract

A collection of the larval black fly Simulium ochraceum sensu lato Walker was made at six lotic habitats on San Cristobal Island, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, during May 2003. Sixty-eight larvae were assayed for the presence of gut fungi (Zygomycota: Trichomycetes). A trichomycete, designated as Smittium sp. was found inhabiting the hindgut of 17.6% of S. ochraceum s.l. larvae. Implications of this finding with respect to both host and trichomycete biogeography are discussed.

摘要

2003年5月，在厄瓜多尔加拉帕戈斯群岛圣克里斯托瓦尔岛的六个流水生境中采集了幼虫黑蝇（Simulium ochraceum sensu lato Walker）。对68只幼虫进行了肠道真菌（接合菌门：毛菌纲）检测。发现一种被命名为斯米蒂菌属（Smittium sp.）的毛菌栖息在17.6%的赭色黑蝇幼虫后肠中。讨论了这一发现对宿主和毛菌生物地理学的意义。
