Abstract
Larssoniella n. gen. (Microspora, Unikaryonidae) is characterized by uninucleate stages with a tuft of tubules arising in the cuticle of sporoblasts and in the posterior pole of the young spore in its exospore. L. resinellae n. sp., the type species, has sporoblasts and spores with distinct tubular tufts. Mature spores are smooth, tubular (4.5-5×1.7-2 gym), uninucleate, with polar filament in 10/11 coils. It infects the silk glands, Malpighian tubules, the fat body and gonads of larvae and adults of the Pine resin gall moth, Petrova resinella.
