Notes.

This species was described from France ( Tuzet and Manier 1950) in the hindgut of Baetidae nymphs. Spartiella barbata is distinguished by its lobulate basal cell, obpyriform trichospores, measuring 21-26.5 × 6.5-7.5 µm in our specimens (Fig. 18 View Figures 17–20 ) and the presence of one appendage tightly coiled just after release and then eventually uncoiling into a long delicate filiform structure. Spartiella barbata seems to be more common in Europe, where it has been recorded from France ( Tuzet and Manier 1950, Manier 1962b), United Kingdom ( Lichtwardt 1986) and Spain ( Valle 2007), with only one report of the species from North America, in Canada ( Strongman 2010).
