Аннотация:An octospore rnicrosporidiurn was found in the nymphs of Aeshna viridis, collected in intermittent streams near Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia in 2003. Spores Were uninucleale and measured 6.1 +/- 0.07 x 3.0 +/- 0.04 mu m on fresh smears. The polar filament was anisofilar having 10-11 anterior coils (thicker-filament diam) and 10-11 posterior (thinner filament diam.) coils. Sporophorous vesicles were persistent and measured 12.3 +/- 0.23 x 11.9 +/- 0.20 mu m. The infection was restricted to the adipose tissue and caused the formation of whitish "cysts" containing Mature octospores. Based on ultrastructural similarity we consider this Siberian isolate to be Systenostrema alba, a Species described from Aeshna grandis collected in Sweden (Larsson 1988). Maximum likelihood, neighbor joining, and maximum parsimony analyses of the small subunit rDNA all placed Systenostrema alba (Accession no. AY953292) is the sister taxon to a clade consisting of Thelohania solenopsae, Tubulinosema ratisbonensis, and Tubulinoseama acridophagus.
