A new species, Tolypocladium parasiticum, is described as endoparasitic on the rotifer host Adineta. Unlike most other known Hyphomycetes parasitic on rotifers, conidia are produced underwater. Infection is initiated by conidia lodging in the lower gullet near the mastax of the host. Conidiogenous cells (phialides) arise either directly from the host body or in clusters from short, simple conidiophores. This species produces solitary terminal resting spores with an unusual nodular appearance.

Diheterospora rotiferorum and Diheterospora ovispora are described as new species endoparasitic on bdelloid rotifers belonging to Philodina and Adineta. In both species resting spores (aleuriospores) are produced underwater and disseminative spores (phialoconidia) are produced from aerial conidiophores. Verticillium reniformis and Acrostalagmus tagenophorus, also endoparasites of rotifers, are transferred to the genus Diheterospora.

A new exooperculate species of Nowakowskiella has been described. The type strain has been isolated from the water sample taken from the small bog in the ash forest in the National Kampinos Park near Warsaw. The fungus developed on bits of onion skin the rhizomycelial growth and formed numerous zoosporangia and resting spores. It is considered by the author to be a new species of <i>Nowakowskiella</i> related to <i>N. macrospora</i> Karling, and named <i>N. moubasheriana</i> sp. nov.

Massospora levispora Soper pathogenic to the cicada, Okatiagana. rimosa (Say), is described. This species and M. cicadina Peck, the only species currently referred to this genus, differ chiefly in size and shape of the conidia but there are also morphological differences between the resting spores of the two species. It was found that the symptoms expressed by infected cicadas were similar to those reported for hosts of M. cicadina.
