Notes.

Stachylina nana was found in the mid-gut of Chironomidae ( Chironomus sp.) in the same host as Smittium dipterorum . Specimens of S. nana in Bulgaria had a small thallus, 60-70 × 7-8 µm, with 1-4(-5) generative cells. Trichospores measure 20-24 × 7-7.5 µm, without a collar. All measurements agree with the original description of the species ( Lichtwardt 1984). This species was recorded before from Europe, including France ( Lichtwardt 1984) and Spain ( Santamaria and Girbal 1997); Asia, in Thailand ( Hapsari et al. 2009), China (Strongman and Wang 2015) and also America, including Canada ( Strongman 2007, 2010; Strongman and White 2008) and USA (Beach and White 2012). Probably, S. nana has a cosmopolitan distribution, although we only have patchy data from few surveyed countries.
