Loofia thienemanni

(Fig. 7 A–C)

Measurements. See Table 14.

Remarks. Loofia thienemanni was described from a compost heap in Bergen-op-Zoom, the Netherlands (Schneider 1925). It has been reported from France, Italy, the Netherlands, Peru, Poland (Brzeski 1974; Kuiper 1977), South Africa (Van den Berg 1987), Argentina (Chaves 1983), the Solomon Islands (Coomans et al. 1985), Greece (Koliopanos & Vovlas 1977), and Czechoslovakia (Valocka & Sabova 1978). In this study, L. thienemanni was detected only in Charleston County, SC, in a bermudagrass fairway and a zoysiagrass tee. The morphology and morphometrics of the identified population did not differ from those previously described (Brzeski 1974). This is the first record of L. thienemanni from turfgrasses in SC.
