• Mikrocytos mackini is a microcell parasite that usually infects Crassostrea gigas distributed along the Pacific Northwest coast of North America. For many years, M. mackini was the only known species in the genus, but there have been multiple recent findings of genetically divergent forms of Mikrocytos in different hosts and in distantly located geographic locations. This note describes M. boweri sp. nov. found in Olympia oysters Ostrea lurida collected from and native to British Columbia, Canada, primarily using a molecular taxonomic approach.
