Notes.
This species was previously known from Costa Rica ( Lichtwardt1997), Spain ( Valle and Santamaria 2004), Dominican Republic (Valle and Cafaro, 2010) and Mexico ( Valle et al. 2011) in the tract of Simuliidae and Chironomidae . Bulgarian specimens were associated with Chironomidae midges ( Chironomus sp.). They had cylindrical-elongated trichospores measuring 16-19 × 3-4 µm, with a short collar about 2.5 µm, slightly flared outwards. The thallus is branched at the base, with verticillate apical branching (Fig. 17 View Figures 17–20 ). Each fertile branch has 4-6 generative cells. Specimens from Bulgaria resemble most of those described from Spain.
