title: Light and electron microscope studies on three new species of microsporidia from saltmarsh mosquitoes in Australia.
abstract: Descriptions are given of three microsporidians found parasitising larvae of culicine mosquitoes in south-east Queensland, Australia. Two, Duboscqia aediphaga n.sp. and Microsporidium lotaensis n.sp. were recovered from larvae of Aedes (Ochlerotatus) vigilax (Skuse), and a third, Amblyospora pinensis n.sp., from Culex sitiens Wiedemann. The three species were studied by light microscopy and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. We believe this to be the first detailed account of the ultrastructure of a species of Duboscqia Perez.
