SUMMARY
Aegeritella superficialis Bat. et Wis. and A. tuberculata Bat•. et Wis., epizoic fungi
on Formica decipiens Bondr . and F. pressilabris Nyl., are new records for the Iberian Pe-
ninsula; both ant species are new hosts for the fungi. Bulbils are more abundant at the rear
of the body suggesting that ants partially control the spread of the fungus over its body
by auto and allogrooming.
The genus Aegeritella and the species
A. sitperficialis were erected by Batazy
and Wisniewski (1974) to describe an epi-
zoic fungus found on several species of
Formica ants in Poland; a second spe-
cies, A. letikoi, was described from a Bra-
zilian Canipoiiotus sericeiventris (Guerin)
(BAtAZY & W1SNIEWSKt, 1977), a third one,
A. tuberculata, from Lasius flavus (Fab.)
and Formica fusca L. also from Poland,
and very recently (BA.LAZY et al., 1986), a
fourth one, A. roussillonensis on Catagly-
phis cursor (Fonscolombe) in Southern
France.

Here we report the presence of A. super-
ficialis and A. tuberculate on two species
of Formica; the present knowledge of geo-
graphical and host distribution is summa-
rized in table 1. Until now only members
ofd the subfamily Formicinae are known as
hosts to Aegeritella species. The new Ibe-
rian localities are the following:

There is scarce knowledge of the biolo-
gy of Aegeritella species; spatial distribu-
tion of infected ant nests seems to be
unrelated to phytosociological communi-
ties and uniform (W1SNirvvsKI, 1976); the
percentage of infected ant nests varies
from 35,7 0 (W1< 1rwsKI, 1976) to 0,3 0
(C1{ERIx, 1982), varying according to For-
mica species and sites. We studied 141
Formica samples from the Pyrenees and
only 1 (0,71)o) was found to be infected;
34 out of 64 workers in the sample (53 %)
of F. pressilabris were infected; this agre-
es with data from W1sNurwSK1 & SoKO-
.#-o\V'SKY (1983) for A. stiperficialis that are
within the range of 1,5 to 66,6 °o on infec-
ted workers in different nests of 4 For-
mica species. The number of bulbils may
be as high as one hundred per worker
(CiiiRIX-, 1982); from the detailed study
of the number and situation of bulbils in
one case (table II, fig. 3) it can be seen
that the gaster and legs are more heavily
attacked; this agrees with previous re-
ports of the head being the less affected
portion (WISNIEvwSKI, 1977; Bvi zv & Wls-
NnAVsKi, 1982) while the thorax is inter-
mediate. We can find no apparent reason
for this distal trend unless we assume that
because of auto and allogrooming of the
head -eyes, mouthparts, antennae are of
vital importance- there is a lower level
of infection, since it is to be expected that
small, growing thalli are easier to elimi-
nate than full grown ones. Ants would
play an active, but partial, role in contro-

fling the spread of the fungus over its bo-
dies.
Since the contact of the fungus with
the insect cuticle is superficial, its para-
sitic nature remains unclear (BA-AZY &
WlsNiLwvsK1, 1982); whichever way this
last point is resolved, Acgcritella species
seem to have successfully broken the che-
mical defence provided by the many
glands present in ants, that have been
shown to secrete antibiotic or inhibitory
substances against several bacteria, fungi
or even pollen (HOLLnoBLE & ENGEL-SI
GEL, 1984; BEATTIE, 1985) and thus joining
Laboulbeniales as the other major group
of externally parasitic fungi on ants (T.-
\ARES, 1985).
