Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This study reports the first record of Sorosphaerula radicalis (Phytomyxea, Rhizaria) in continental Europe (Tirol, Austria) and provides first molecular data for this species. An 18S rRNA phylogeny placed S. radicalis into the Plasmodiophorida, although distant from other members of the genus Sorosphaerula and close to the parasite of water cress Hillenburgia nasturtii. To resolve this polyphyly, we compare morphological data and life cycles of Sorosphaerula veronicae (the type species of the genus Sorosphaerula), Hillenburgia nasturtii, and Sorosphaerula radicalis. We conclude that Sorosphaerula radicalis belongs to the recently established genus Hillenburgia.
