Note: | Parataeniella flavospora was found in the hindgut cuticle of Porcellio scaber and Armadillidium vulgare. According to their growth forms, it presents on the same species. But there are something different upon dimension and size. Primary infestation sporangiospores are thick-walled and full of lipid granules that are different from any species of recorded Parataeniella. It was described as a new species. This species is noticed that a branched thallus was observed in the hindgut of Armadillidium vulgare. | |||
