Abstract During an investigation of the parasites of simuliid larvae in a defined area in Southern Germany six species of Microsporidia were found. These parasites infect larvae of six different species of Simuliidae. Using light and scanning electron microscopic techniques the microsporidians were identified asAmblyospora bracteata, Thelohania fibrata, T. varians, Pleistophora multispora, P. simulii, andP. debaisieuxi. The arrangement of membranes in the cyst as well as the surface structure of the spores are described.
