Abstract
One new species of Laboulbeniaceae, Peyritschiella styngeti, is described and illustrated. It is characterized by appendages with a black constriction at the base, perithecia with four papillae on the apical zone, cruciform bilateral symmetry, and an extremely melanized receptacle. This species was observed on the stylus of the staphylinid Styngetus deyrollei, which is distributed in tropical montane cloud forests in Mexico. Currently, the Laboulbeniales mycobiota in Mexico comprises 82 species, with 11 described growing on species of the Staphylinidae family. Additionally, a compilation of the Laboulbeniales species reported for Mexico and for Staphylinidae species is presented.
1. Introduction
Peyritschiella Thaxt. 1890 [1] is a genus taxonomically located in the Laboulbeniaceae family. Some of its diagnostic characteristics include that it presents a receptacle conformed by the following four overlapped areas: a basal area, a sub-basal area, a subterminal area, and a terminal area where the perithecia develop, which are symmetric and possess papillae on the apical zone. The antheridia are conical-shaped, continuous, and divided from the receptacle by a constricted dark-colored basal zone, and the ascospores are septate [2]. Thaxter [3,4] states that it is a very particular group because there is no other that possesses a compound antheridium and the receptacle’s bilateralism, as these characteristics are only shared with Dimorphomyces Thaxt. 1890 [1]. Haelewaters et al. [4] mention that the order to which Peyritschiella is part of, Laboulbeniales, has representative hosts from the Insecta class, subphyla Myriapoda and Chelicerata.
Laboulbeniales are considered obligate ectoparasites that rely on their hosts and exhibit a high degree of specificity. As stated by Van der Linde and Rhong [5], their distribution corresponds to that of their hosts, and they depend on these hosts to acquire the necessary resources for their life cycle, sustenance, and survival within insect populations. Their transmission method has been observed to be highly effective, involving direct contact between insects, including sexual reproduction and chance encounters among organisms in large groups displaying social behaviors. This facilitates the spores’ contact with non-infected organisms, allowing them to penetrate the cuticle and successfully develop their thallus. The environment may also serve as a secondary intermediary, albeit with a lower success rate, maintaining spore viability through soil humidity [6,7]. All these factors contribute to the specificity of Laboulbeniales, which grow only in certain regions of their hosts, resulting in a wide range of morphologies based on the area of infection they develop [8], making them, by estimation, the most diverse group of fungi [6], adding to the group’s peculiarities, such as the proliferation of the thalli by the division of the ascospore cells instead of developing a mycelium; the apparent lack of an asexual reproductive stage; and the impossibility of growing them ex situ [6].
In Mexico, studies of Laboulbeniomycetes have been almost nonexistent. The first study on this group [9] was conducted on the genus Rickia Cavara 1899 [10], which grows on passalid beetles (Coleoptera: Passalidae). However, Mexican records have been mentioned in studies worldwide [2,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22], which are summarized in (Appendix A, Table A1), in which only ten species parasitizing rove beetles have been reported (Appendix B, Table A2). The records state 81 species of Laboulbeniomycetes in the country, of which 78 are located in the Laboulbeniales order and 3 are part of the Herpomycetales order. Until now, there have been no specific studies whatsoever about Laboulbeniales found parasitizing Staphylinidae in Mexico; hence, the objective of the present study is to describe a new species of Peyritschiella for the world’s mycobiota.
2. Materials and Methods
- Host examination and Thalli removal
The specimens were obtained from Staphylinidae (rove beetles) organisms that were part of the entomological collection integrated into the CC-UAEH (Coleoptera Collection of the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo), which were revised on the head, thorax, and abdomen. There was greater focus on the host’s stylus located in the abdomen’s basal area under the stereoscopic microscope; for this revision, the insects were placed on a Petri dish, with the help of a few drops of 70% alcohol. The thalli were extracted using a periodontal probe by performing light sweeps over the host’s stylus.
- Morphological characterization
The samples were set as fixed specimens using Hoyer’s reactive, and subsequently sealed with two coats of translucent nail polish. The thallus was characterized, measured with an ocular micrometer, and described in form, color, and number of perithecia, antheridia, and appendages, as well as the foot and visible cells of the receptacle. The taxonomic identification was followed up to the genus using Thaxter’s taxonomic key and descriptions. The fixed specimen preparations of Laboulbeniales are deposited in the ENCB fungi collection located in the Instituto Politécnico Nacional under the following code numbers: ENCB-L01 ELOP01 To ENCB-L104 ELOP106.

- Host. Obligate ectoparasite of Styngetus deyrollei, specifically located on the stylus on both males and females (Figure 1A); host with predaceous habits in the tropical montane cloud forest. Other rove beetles’ specimens were revised (Philonthus, Oligotergus, Platydracus, Chroaptomus), none of them showed infection by this new species.
- Distribution. Distributed in the states of Hidalgo, Puebla and San Luis Potosí. It is a new species for the worldwide mycobiota.
- Notes.Peyritschiella styngeti sp. nov. is characterized by the presence of appendages with a dark constriction at the base (Figure 1I), two perithecia with four papillae on the apical area, cruciform aspect (Figure 1D and Figure 4B), bilateral symmetry, and a receptacle conformed by three highly pigmented levels, making it look like it is only one level (Figure 1J). This species is highly specific because it is only found on S. deyrolley’s (Figure 1A) stylus (Figure 1B). The characteristics, as mentioned earlier, differentiate this species from other taxonomically close ones like P. cafiana (Thaxt.) I.I. Tav. 1985 [18], which presents three well-defined leveled receptacle and short appendages. Furthermore, the pigmented area in this same structure is only observed on the foot cell and the adjacent area, and although both species present two lobulated perithecia, the melanization pattern is a very visible characteristic that differentiates it from P. styngeti.

When compared with P. angolensis (Thaxt.) I.I. Tav. 1985 [18], P. styngeti presents the same dark-colored foot cell and two lobulated perithecia; however, the receptacle in P. angolensis exhibits three row of cells of the same width, overlapped, making it look symmetrical and a little bit flattened, only darkened at the margin and over the lower row of cells [21]. Meanwhile, the aforementioned one presents three rows of highly pigmented cells, giving it a one-leveled receptacle appearance, with the upper row being wider than the other two, surrounding the perithecia.
Peyritschiella exilis (Thaxt.) I.I. Tav. 1985 [18], unlike P. styngeti, presents two highly pigmented perithecia which are similar in size to the receptacle. This structure is divided into three highly differentiated levels, and the pigmentation is only observed on the basal area and the foot cell. Meanwhile, P. vulgata (Thaxt.) I.I. Tav. 1985 [18] exhibits a difference mostly because it presents three rows of cells, pigmented on the first row of the cell but not in the last two rows, and the appendages are constricted, with two terminal perithecia which have an appendiculate tip, the most prominent difference when compared with P. styngeti [21].
In the case of P. furcifera (Thaxt.) I.I. Tav. 1985 [18], it exhibits lesser-developed levels, similar to the ones in P. styngeti. Although the apical cells are bigger in comparison with the last taxon, they also do not possess any pigmentation on the apical area nor the foot cell, as well as appendages which are short and unicellular [24].
With P. australiensis (Thaxt.) I.I. Tav. 1985 [18], it is observed that the present pigmentation on the base and sides of the receptacle, as well as the appendages arranged at the sides and in between the apical perithecia, also has an appendiculated tip. Meanwhile, P. mexicana (Thaxt.) I.I. Tav. 1985 [18] has well-differentiated levels, with evident pigmentation only on the sides of the base of the receptacle, two appendiculate perithecia, and multicellular appendages arranged laterally and constricted, alongside the aforementioned genres, which are differentiated from P. styngeti because of the lack of an elongate margin under the perithecia, leaving the hem “bare” [24].
Peyritschiella madagascariensis (Thaxt.) I.I. Tav. 1985 [18], on the other hand, presents a pigmented receptacle with lateral projections that seem to be protecting the perithecia; however, these projections are long and separated from the receptacle, compared to P. styngeti. Moreover, it exhibits a slim receptacle with only one level and appendiculate perithecia [24].
Peyritschiella stingeti sp.nov. can be identified by a darkened foot cell, followed by a translucent cell as the base of the receptacle which is fully dark in color, forming a cone-shaped receptacle with an upper margin of transversal cells surrounding the base of the symmetrical perithecia, which only possesses two, which have an appendiculated tip with four cruciform papillae, and unicellular appendages at the sides of the perithecia, which are darkened at the base and fusiform bicellular ascospores, highly hyaline with a mucilage covering both cells.
4. Discussion
Peyritschiella is a genus that has been reported to be parasitic on rove beetles. In Mexico’s case, P. exilis has been cited over Belonuchus formosus Gravenhorst 1806 [25] (current valid name B. rufipennis Fabricius 1801) [26] and Philonthus oxyporinus Sharp 1885 [27] (current valid name B. oxyporinus Sharp 1885) [27], P. furcifera on Philonthus centralis Sharp 1885 [27], P. mexicana on Philonthus atriceps Sharp 1885 [27], P. princeps (Thaxt.) I.I. Tav. 1985 [18] on Philonthus sp. and Quediomacrus puniceipennis Solsky 1868 [28], and, finally, P. vulgata on Philonthus flavolimbatus Erichson 1840 [29]. Considering P. styngeti on Styngetus deyrollei, the taxonomic richness increases to six species.
In this study, 787 organisms of rove beetles were examined from different genera (Philonthus, Oligotergus, Platydracus and Chroaptomus), of which 476 were identified as Styngetus deyrollei. Among these, 104 were infected with thallus at different developmental stages, representing 22% of infected organisms in this species and 13.21% of all organisms revised.
The Staphylinidae family represents a group of arthropods highly parasitized by Laboulbeniales. Worldwide, there have been reported incidents of almost every family but Ceratomycetaceae; regardless, one important characteristic of this organism that needs to be highlighted is its specificity towards its hosts, which has made it clear for the fungi to be described as species-specific in most cases [18,30]. Frank [31] put Peyritschiella in the family Peyritschiellaceae as rove beetle parasites by excellence, before they were translated to their correct family, Laboulbeniaceae.
The number of rove beetles described worldwide goes up to 67,700 species; out of this, 1822 have been registered in Mexico, and 914 out of them are endemic to the territory [32]. These numbers make Mexico the country with the second-most diversity of rove beetles in Latin America [33], hence, considering that the genus Peyritschiella is frequent and presents specificity for this host, a high richness of species can be expected. So far, only the following 10 species of Laboulbeniales are known to grow on Staphylinidae: Cucujomyces bilateralis (R.K. Bnj.) W. Rossi & A. Weir 2008 [34], Corethromyces brasilianus Thaxt. 1900 [35], Laboulbenia cristata Thaxt. 1893 [15], L. philonthi Thaxt. 1893 [15], Mimeomyces quedionuchi Thaxt. 1931 [2], Peyritschiella exilis, P. furcifera, P. mexicana, P. princeps, and P. vulgata, [18,36], which represents only 12.34% of the 81 species known for the country, showing the necessity of maintaining mycological and entomological studies on those that are the most diverse organism groups.
5. Conclusions
Peyritschiella styngeti is a species found on the stylus of Styngetus deyrollei, predatory beetles that can be found between the leaf litter in tropical montane cloud forests. They are also distributed in Hidalgo, Puebla, San Luis Potosí, and Veracruz.
With this study, the number of Laboulbeniales species for Mexico goes up to 82, out of which 11 are parasitizing rove beetles. For the Peyritschiella genus, the number rises to 53 from the 52 previously known worldwide.
The studied species were obtained from specimens from an entomological collection, lent by the CC-UAEH, which highlights the importance of investigating recent biological collections, especially in the case of Laboulbeniales, which are a lesser-known group and possibly have a high level of diversity and endemism in Mexico.
