Résumé

La morphologie deNeozygites paravispora, deThrips tabaci Lind. et deN. cf.adjarica deTetranychus urticae Koch est décrite en détail, celle deN. fresenii est limitée à la description des spores de résistance. Les 3 espèces forment en général des spores de résistance brunes à noires, occasionnellement des spores hyalines qui, cependant, apparaissent non viables. Les conidiophores des capilloconidies de ces 3 espèces sont caractérisés par un coude, quelques microns avant la terminaison distale. Ce caractère les distingue des espèces deZoophthora. N. cf.adjarica forme fréquemment des rhizoïdes qui fixent les acariens contenant des spores de résistance à la plante.

Summary

The morphology ofN. parvispora fromThrips tabaci Lind. and ofN. cf.adjarica fromTetranychus urticae Koch is described in detail; that ofN. fresenii is limited to a description of the resting spores. In addition to producing typical dark resting spores, the 3 species occasionally from hyaline ones which, however, appear to be non viable. The conidiophores of the capilliconidia of these species are characterised by a distinct curvature near the distal end, which distinguishes them from the capilliconiophores ofZoophthora species.N. cf.adjarica frequently formed rhizoids, fixing mites containing resting spores to the leaf surface.
