ADDITIONAL RECORDS: From leaf mould collected in Waitakere Range, New Zealand, 7 November 1988; recovered from moss growing on wood, Waitakere Range, New Zealand, 7 November 1988; recovered from mossy soil collected in a garden, Mount Albert, Auckland, New Zealand, March 1989.

The conidiophores (Fig. 20) in this species are up to 125 µm tall by 2.5-3.0 µm wide and simple or sparingly branched. Phialides are 16.5-30 µm long by 3.0-4.0 µm at their widest point. They have a swollen base and taper to a more or less straight, narrowly cylindrical apex that is about 1.0 µm wide and straight or sometimes slightly reflexed but not nearly so markedly as most species of Rotiferophthora. Phialides occur singly, in pairs, or occasionally in whorls. Aphanophialides are up to 15 µm long and 0.8-1.6 µm wide and are cylindrical or slightly tapered towards the apex. Conidia (Fig. 19) are narrowly biconic but weakly so with somewhat flattened sides and rounded ends. They have a solitary oil droplet that is positioned centrally or slightly distal of the centre. Conidia are 6.5-7.5 µm long by 2.2-2.5 µm wide. Aleuriospores are large, thick walled, subhyaline, muriform, and 14-22 µm x 14-18 µm. They are more or less isodiametric in top view and somewhat flattened and one cell deep in side view.

HABITAT: Parasitic in bdelloid rotifers.
