SUMMARY

J. Balazuc: Review of Rhachomyces [Ascomycetes, Laboulbeniales] parasitizing the Trechidae [Col. Caraboidea] with descriptions of new forms

In this review of Rhachomyces (Ascomycetes, Laboulbeniales) parasitizing Carabid Coleoptera of the family Trechidae, some general observations relate to their distribution among the host genera, which are often cavernicolous ones. Some characters of already known species are made up; the list of hosts of these Rhachomyces, and consequently their geographical distribution are restored. Two species (R. capucinus, R. grassei) appear to be synonymous; two new species (R. claudiae, R. reveilleti) and a new subspecies (R. hypogaeus richardi) are described.
