Type: “ Sobre el abdomen y el margen de los élitros de Laccophilus virescens , pescado en los charcos cerca de Conegliano , Jul. y Nov. 1913 ”; LPS. [ Italy]
Diagnostic features
The perithecium bears a nearly straight, finger-like, pointed outgrowth, up to 44 µm long, directed obliquely upwards, arising from the lower third of the perithecial wall ( Fig. 20G View Fig , arrow). Cell VI sometimes inflated and prominent below the perithecium ( Fig. 20G View Fig , VI). [Detailed descriptions: Majewski 1994b; Santamaria 2001b, 2003]

Between the claws of Laccophilus (Col. Dytiscidae ) from Italy (type), Poland ( Majewski 1994b), and Spain ( Santamaria 2001b).

Remarks
First record from Denmark. Easily overlooked because it is a tiny species which grows in a very hidden position. The new finding suggests a wider distribution than indicated by the relatively few previous records, especially when it is taken into account that the host species is very common and widespread.
