Overview of 75 years of Smittium research, establishing a new genus for Smittium culisetae, and prospects for future revisions of the ‘Smittium’ cladeFootnote¹

1 This paper is dedicated to Dr Marvin Williams and his former students for their contributions to Smittium and other Harpellales and also to a former student of both Drs Williams and Lichtwardt, the late Dr Roger Grigg, whose isozyme studies, among others, have helped us unravel some of these stories.
