Consolidating the legacy of J.-F. Manier: new species and records of trichomycetes from France.
New data about trichomycetes (arthropod-gut endosymbionts) from southern France is documented, including the description of two Harpellales, Legeriosimilis cebennensis from mayfly nymphs (Heptageniidae) and Smittium manierei from Chironomidae larvae. New geographical records from France are provided, including Bojamyces transfuga, Genistellospora homothallica, Lancisporomyces vernalis, Legeriomyces rarus, Orphella catalaunica, O. helicospora, Stachylina pedifer, Smittium hecatei, S. pseudodimorphum and Tectimyces leptophlebiidarum. Most of these records include species with a Mediterranean distribution, reported before from neighboring countries, and a few others are subcosmopolitan.
