Abstract
Nosema yponomeutae n. sp. (Protozoa, Microsprodia, Nosematidae), a new pathogen of the web moths Yponomeuta padella L. and Y. evonymella L. (Lep., Yponomeutidae)
A new species of Nosematidae,Nosema yponomeutae n. sp. is described. This pathogen is parasiting particularly the adipose tissue and the intestines of the larvae ofYponomeuta padella L. andY. evonymella L. It is also located in oenocytes, lymphocytes, muscules and in the tracheal matrix. This paper only includes one type of schizogonie and the whole sporogonie. A complete description of the life cycle will be given in another paper. The length of the spores was 4.2–4.8 μm, the width was 1.6–2.1 μm. Up to 5.1% of the larvae and 30% of the pupae ofY. padella and up to 6.2% of the larvae and 33% of the pupae ofY. evonymella were parasitized. This is the first Protozoan pathogen found at genusYponomeuta.
