Four larvae of Aedes (Stegomyia) Flavopictus, collected on the small island of Mikura-jima, Japan, were found to be parasitized by Coelomomyces ponticulus, n. sp. The resistant sporangium of this species is distinguished by having an otherwise smooth surface possessing (1) predominately elongate pits divided lengthwise into approximately equal halves by a bridge (as viewed from the surface) and (2) papillae immediately adjacent to the dehiscence slit and elsewhere on the surface in clusters oriented lengthwise on the sporangium. The larvae were also parasitized, at a low level, by Coelomomyces stegomyiae.
