Abstract

Seventeen species of Rickia are reported from Sulawesi. Five are described: R. corylophidorum, R. mammillata, R. pocadii, R. serrulata, and R. sphindidorum. The slime mould feeding beetle family Sphindidae is reported for the first time as host for a species of the Laboulbeniales and R. minuta is recorded for the first time from a beetle, this species previously being known to parasitize only mites. For each of the reported species a detailed description with information on the known geographical distribution and host range is presented along with illustrations and a key to identification.
