In this study, a new genus and species of neogregarine which is a pathogen of Anisoplia segetum Herbst (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), is described. The adult beetles of A. segetum were collected from Nevşehir, Turkey and neogregarine infection rates were determined as 18.52%. The Giemsa-stained mature oocysts are lemon-shaped and measured 9.34±0.82μm in length and 5.77±0.77μm in width. The oocyst wall surface of the mature oocysts is similar to an osage orange (tuberculate). Morphological, ultrastructural and molecular features indicate that the previously undescribed neogregarine is dissimilar to all known neogregarine taxa and represents the first record from Anisoplia segetum and is named here as Aranciocystis muskarensis n. gen., n. sp.
在本研究中，描述了一种新的新簇虫属和物种，它是黄粉鹿花金龟（鞘翅目：金龟科）的病原体。从土耳其内夫谢希尔采集了黄粉鹿花金龟的成虫，并确定新簇虫感染率为18.52%。吉姆萨染色的成熟卵囊呈柠檬形，长9.34±0.82μm，宽5.77±0.77μm。成熟卵囊的卵囊壁表面类似于桑橙（具瘤）。形态学、超微结构和分子特征表明，这种先前未描述的新簇虫与所有已知的新簇虫类群不同，是黄粉鹿花金龟的首个记录，在此命名为麝香橙簇虫新属、新种（Aranciocystis muskarensis n. gen., n. sp.）。
