Abstract
Evidence is presented to support the transfer of P. subuliformis to Myzocytium. Based on the nature of the sporangiospores and the method of attacking the host, the known species of Myzocytium parasitic on nematodes are derived into 5 series. The major characteristics and possible biological advantages of each of these series are outlined. A key is provided for M. subuliforme, M. humicola, M. glutinosporum, M. vermicolum, M. anomalum, M. papillatum, M. lenticulare, M. intermedium and Lagenidium caudatum.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
