Abstract
Three new species of Laboulbenia occurring on endogean Carabidae are described. These are L. lucifuga, parasitic on Winklerites spp. from Greece, L. magrinii, parasitic on Typloreicheia spp. from Italy, Reicheia spp. from Italy and Corsica and L. vailatii, parasitic on Coecoparvus spp. from Greece. New characters of L. coiffatii and L. endogea are pointed out, and the genus Scalenomyces is synonymized with Laboulbenia.
We are grateful for the help of entomologists who kindly supplied us with infected insects and entomological information; they are Giorgio Castellini (Grosseto), Pier Mauro Giachino (Turin), Paolo Magrini (Florence), Roberto Pace, (Verona), Dante Vailati (Brescia) and Augusto Vigna Taglianti (Rome). This work was supported partially by the US National Science Foundation PEET program “Monographic approaches to the Laboulbeniales subtribe Stigmatomycetinae and the genus Stigmatomyces (Fungi, Ascomycota)” (Award DEB 0529722) and by MEC and FEDER funds by means of the project No. CGL2006-12732-C02-02/BOS (Flora Micológica Ibérica VI) to SS.
