Megjegyzések:	Myrmecophilous arthropods and their manifold relations to host ants are interesting from an evolutionaryperspective. Rickia wasmannii is an ectoparasitic fungus belonging to the Laboulbeniales order. Here, we show thatinquiline mites can become infected by R. wasmannii, which was thought to be restricted to the genus Myrmica(Hymenoptera: Formicidae). This is the first report of R. wasmannii from an alternative host in another subphylum(Chelicerata). We also found immature fruiting bodies on a larva of Microdon myrmicae (Diptera: Syrphidae), whichrepresents the first report of any Rickia species on flies. This fungus is capable of infecting alternative, unrelated hostspecies as they co-occur in the ant nest "microhabitat". These observations provide direct evidence for ecologicalspecificity in Laboulbeniales. The presence of R. wasmannii on inquilines in Myrmica ant nests suggests that theparasite may have adapted to the ant nest environment and is less dependent on acquiring specific nutrients fromthe hosts. However, the alternative cannot be excluded; these infections might also represent chance events if thefungus is incapable of fulfilling its life cycle.
