Abstract: | Crozetia is a genus of black flies endemic to the Crozet Islands in the Indian Ocean. No internal symbiotes were previously known from Crozetia species. We report two species of trichomycete symbiotes Stachylina litoralis and Smittium culicisoides from Crozetia seguyi. Larvae of C. seguyi were examined from three sites. The infection rates for St. litoralis was 10.0-33.3% (n=47) of the larvae and Sm. culicisoides was 46.1-85.7% (n=47). No other symbiotes were discovered. |
