Abstract

We present 33 new records of Laboulbeniales from Central American countries on hosts of the orders Blattodea, Coleoptera, and Diptera. Twenty-seven records are new for Panama. These are Amorphomyces ophioglossae on Ophioglossa sp.; Chitonomyces hyalinus on Laccophilus pictus; Ch. simplex on Laccophilus fasciatus and L. pictus; Dimeromyces homophoetae on Capraita sp.; Eucantharomyces calleidae on Calleida aurata; Gloeandromyces pageanus sp. nov. on Trichobius dugesioides; G. streblae on Trichobius spp.; Herpomyces chaetophilus on Periplaneta americana; Hesperomyces virescens on Azya orbigera, Brachiacanthini gen. & sp. indet., Cycloneda sanguinea, and Epilachna mexicana ; Kleidiomyces hoplandriae on Hoplandria sp.; Laboulbenia bruchii on Neolema sp.; L. coccinellidicola sp. nov. on Exochomus childreni and Exochomus sp. 1; L. disenochi on Platynus purpurellus; L. ecitonis on Ecitophya sp.; L. flabelliformis on Asphaera transversofasciata; L. fuliginosa and L. idiostoma on Altica bimarginata; L. perplexa and L. punctata on Galerita sp.; L. skelleyi on Ischyrus sp. and Pselaphacus sparsus; L. systenae on Systena sp.; L. trogacti on Carpelimus sp.; Neohaplomyces medonalis on Medinina gen. & sp. indet. and Paederinae gen. & sp. indet.; Nycteromyces streblidinus on Trichobius joblingi; Peyritschiella protea on Platydracus prasinvariegatus; Rhachomyces longissimus on Platynus lyratus; and Stichomyces conosomatis on Sepedophilus sp. The number of species of Laboulbeniales in Panama is raised to 78. An alphabetical parasite-host list of Panamanian Laboulbeniales is given. Additionally, the following new records are presented for neighboring areas: Chitonomyces paradoxus on Laccophilus proximus from the Bahamas; Gloeandromyces nycteribiidarum on Trichobius yunkeri from Costa Rica; Herpomyces paranensis on Archimandrita tessellata from Colombia and Costa Rica; Hesperomyces palustris on Coleomegilla maculata from Cuba; Laboulbenia fallax on Gyretes sp. from Trinidad; L. flabelliformis on Asphaera nobilitata from Trinidad; L. funeralis on Gyrinus sp. from Costa Rica; and L. systenae on Systena basalis from Haiti and on S. s-littera from Trinidad. Archimandrita, Azya, Capraita, Epilachna, Ischyrus, and Trichobius are reported as new host genera for Laboulbeniales. Illustrations are given for 16 species.
