Two new species from the genus Strongwellsea (Entomophthorales: Entomophthoraceae) that infect adult flies from the genus Helina (Muscidae) are described: Strongwellsea selandia Eilenberg & Humber infecting adult Helina evecta (Harris), and Strongwellsea gefion Eilenberg & Humber infecting adult Helina reversio (Harris). The descriptions are based on pathobiological, phenotypical and genotypical characters. The new species differ from other described members from the genus Strongwellsea by a) pathobiology as revealed by natural host species, b) morphology of primary conidia, c) color of resting spores, and d) genotypical clustering based on analysis of ITS2. The two new species have only been documented from North Zealand, Denmark.
描述了两个新的物种，它们属于 Strongwellsea 属（Entomophthorales: Entomophthoraceae），可感染来自 Helina 属（Muscidae）的成年蝇类：感染成年 Helina evecta（Harris）的 Strongwellsea selandia Eilenberg & Humber，以及感染成年 Helina reversio（Harris）的 Strongwellsea gefion Eilenberg & Humber。这些描述基于病理生物学、表型和基因型特征。与其他描述的 Strongwellsea 属成员相比，新物种的不同之处在于：a）自然宿主物种揭示的病理生物学特征，b）初生分生孢子的形态，c）休眠孢子的颜色，以及 d）基于 ITS2 分析的基因型聚类。这两个新物种仅在丹麦北日德兰记录到。
