Abstract

The fungus Smittium culisetae is a trichomycete that develops in the hindguts of larval aquatic Diptera. This is the first report of S. culisetae from the pitcher plant mosquito, Wyeomyia smithii. Larvae of the mosquito were collected from the purple pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurea, from a bog in Jackson County, North Carolina. The lowest proportions of colonized larvae occurred in December, January and July. The greatest proportions of colonized larvae occurred in October and March. The distribution of colonized larvae among pitchers did not differ significantly from a random distribution.

摘要

真菌 Smittium culisetae 是一种在幼虫水生双翅目昆虫的后肠中发育的毛霉。这是首次从瓶状植物蚊，Wyeomyia smithii 中报告 S. culisetae。从北卡罗来纳州杰克逊县的沼泽地中的紫色瓶子草，Sarracenia purpurea 中收集到蚊子的幼虫。在 12 月，1 月和 7 月，被定殖的幼虫比例最低。在 10 月和 3 月，被定殖的幼虫比例最高。被定殖的幼虫在瓶罐中的分布与随机分布没有显著差异。
