After examined 71 potential hosts, only one pill bug (Armadillidium vulgare Latreille) was habitated by two thalli of Asellaria armadillidii. According to the rhizoidal projection of holdfast cells and the whorled branches of principal cell. It is interested to notice that A. armadillidii and Parataeniella flavospora nom. Prov. (Eccrinales) both were found in the same host. | |||
