Abstract
Phialophora endoparasitica is described as a new hyphomycete attacking bdelloid rotifers. Infection is initiated by a conidium with a lobed appendage which lodges in the mastax. Conidia germinate to produce branching chains of turbinate assimilative cells which eventually fill the host. Reproductive hyphae break out at a number of points, produce phialidic conidiogenous cells, and release conidia under water.
