Abstract

Laboulbenia phaeoxanthae sp. nov. (Ascomycota: Laboulbeniales) parasitic on the tiger beetle Phaeoxantha aequinoctialis bifasciata (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Cicindelinae) from Brazil is described. The new species seems to be closely related to Laboulbenia pheropsophi, but can be distinguished from the latter by the much more slender and elongate habit, and by the different structure of the appendages. The new species is only the second Laboulbeniales species reported on tiger beetles. The widespread Laboulbenia variabilis was previously recorded on Tetracha fulgida from Ecuador.
