Flora Mycologica Iberica 4: 122 ( Santamaria 1998). – Type: “Balazuc herbarium. Sur Bledius (Blediodes) arenarius (Paykull) , France, Dept. Gironde: Gujan [No.68.14]”; PC.

Laboulbenia parriaudii Balazuc ( Balazuc 1974d: 257) (nom. inval.) [MB#316145]

Diagnostic features

Cell V trapezoidal, similar in size and shape to cell IV, connected with septum III–IV. Outer appendage simple or once branched, with the distal septum of the basal cell darkened and constricted ( Fig. 40A–B , arrows). Inner appendage deteriorating with maturation of the thallus. Basal cell of inner appendage shorter than basal cell of outer appendage. [Detailed description: Santamaria 1998]

Distribution and hosts

Only known on Bledius (Col. Staphylinidae Oxytelinae ) from France and Spain ( Santamaria 1989).

Remarks

First record from Denmark. Laboulbenia parriaudii is similar to L. pedicellata and L. luxurians . An accurate description of appendages is not yet available because they deteriorate with thalli ageing, and the required immature thalli have not yet been found. Therefore, antheridia are unknown and remain undescribed.
