Laboulbeniales (Ascomycota), an order of ‘mobile’ fungi. New VC records and new British host . Alan S. Lazenby

Laboulbeniales are ectoparasites which grow externally from minute pores on the chiten exoskeleton of living invertebrates. They have been recorded worldwide on hosts including coleoptera - ground and rove beetles are the major hosts, with a few on other genera including water beetles and ladybirds. They have also been recorded on other orders including diptera, cockroaches, , millipedes and mites.

The fungi can occur singly, scattered over dorsal and ventral surfaces including legs, and mouth parts, or grouped in discrete areas possibly due to transference of spores during mating. See Figures 1-4.

The fungi cause little harm to the host, although a heavy infestation can be an incumberance - I have seen a beetle with a large bunch on a leg dragged along like a ball and chain.

The majority of Laboulbeniales are host specific occurring on a single species or closely related species. There are more than 265 species recorded from and over 1800 globally. This paper lists all my records of Laboulbeniales including Rachomyces and Asaphomyces and their host beetle species. My oldest record is 86 years old (Fig. 25), it is from the Bombadier beetle, crepitans, collected by Phillip Booth in 1930 - Phillip came to a Sorby indoor meeting in the 1980s and he passed on two boxes of beetles, which included this southern species. My first record was in June 1981, about the time I became Recorder for The Sorby Natural History Society.

Because of their minute size the fungi are rarely noticed until seen under a lens or a microscope. I am indebted to my friend Dave Jeffries for his instruction in making microscope slide mounts of the Laboulbeniales, for the loan of a compound microscope, and for much relevant literature on the species. This enabled me to make detailed drawings and species determinations. At Dave’s suggestion these were scanned and sent to Dr Alex Weir, Associate Professor of Mycology, Department of Environmental & Forest Biology, Syracuse, New York. He kindly agreed to look at these and was able to confirm that most of my determinations were correct. He also named further species and suggested other possibilities.

BEETLE SPECIES IN PHYLOGENETIC ORDER AND PARASITE LIST. The table below contains specimens from the following 18 Watsonian vice counties (VC) and from , , Menorca and .

The VC numbers as follows ...

2 East Cornwall 3 South Devon 4 North Devon 14 East Sussex 39 Staffordshire 40 Shropshire 45 Pembrokeshire 53 South Lincolnshire 54 North Lincolnshire

Sorby Record No.53 14 2017 56 Nottinghamshire 57 Derbyshire 59 South Lancashire 62 North East Yorkshire 63 South West Yorkshire 69 Westmorland 96 Easterness 101 Kintyre 105 West Ross

15 host species added to the British host species list compiled by Weir (1996) are shown **.

Laboulbenia species known to be new VC records (to VC 53, 54, 63) are shown *.

2 new Laboulbenia species added to Weir’s 1996 list are shown # (Figs. 8 & 16)

Laboulbenia casnoniae Thaxter listed in Weir (1996) on Demetrias spp., Dromius spp. and Metabletus spp (now Syntomus spp.) has since been synonimised with L. notiophili.

Only two beetle species had more than a single parasite species ... varium from Spain had Laboulbenia pedicellata attached to the basal elytra epipleuron, and Laboulbenia luxurians on the apex of the elytra. See Figures 20 and 18.

Paradromius linearis from South Lincolnshire with Laboulbenia notiophili growing on the elytra base, and Laboulbenia hyalopoda on the apical tergite. See Figures 19 and 16.

The ordering of the table is based on ‘Check list of Beetles of the British Isles’, 2nd ed. by A.G.Duff, Pemberley Books, 2012. Species not found in Britain are marked in the list as ‘NBS’ (Non-British Species).

Recent changes in Ground beetle identification The beetle Ocys tachysoides has recently (2016) been found to comprise two species with Ocys harpaloides. This latter species has been commonly recorded in the Sorby recording area (see Ground Beetles of the Sorby Area, Sorby Special Series No 15). I only have five voucher specimens of this previously easily identifiable species, all have been re-identified as O. tachysoides, and it remains to be seen what status these two species have in Britain. Therefore previous records without voucher specimens will have to be recorded as ‘aggregate species’.
