Descriptions
Austrosmittium norinsulare Lichtw. 1990
COLLECTIONS: Known only from the type locality, site 23, North Island.
Trichospores ovoid, 10-14 x 5-6.5 µm, collar 5-7 µm long, with a single, very fine appendage, borne 2-4 per fertile branch. Zygospores 19-20 x 8-9 µm. In hindgut of Chironomidae larvae.
HOSTS: All in unidentified species of Orthocladiinae larvae (Diptera, Chironomidae).
Trichosporae ovales, 10-14 x 5-6.5 µm, collars 5-7 µm longo, appendiculo unico pertenui, binae, ternae, vel quaternae in ramo fertili gestae. Zygosporae 19-20 x 8-9 µm. In proctodaeo Chironomidarum larvarum.
The trichospores of Austrosmittium norinsulare are narrower than those of A. kiwiorum, and the zygospores are smaller.
HOLOTYPE: Slide ZEA-23-6 prepared from three larval hindguts of a species of Orthocladiinae collected from Mangaturuturu Stream, North Island, 18.VII. 83. Deposited with R. W. Lichtwardt, University of Kansas.
