Notes.

This species of Paramoebidium is common within Simuliidae hosts and is identifiable by having the widest diameter of thallus at the basal to middle sections, slightly tapering towards the distal end. It has a non-cellular holdfast located at the proximal end smaller in diameter (12-27 µm) than the thallus, cylindrical or slightly campanulate ( Valle 2014b). Bulgarian species perfectly match with the original description ( Léger and Duboscq 1948) and with that provided in the validation of the species by Valle (2014b). The species was recently reported from Colombia ( Barón and Valle 2018). In our collections, Simuliomyces microsporus was often found attached to the thalli of this Paramoebidium (Fig. 27 View Figures 26–30 ).
