Anna I. Ganyukova, Marina N. Malysheva, Petr A. Smirnov and Alexander O. Frolov Zoological Institute, Universitetskaya nab. 1, 199034 St. Petersburg, Russia | Submitted November 17, 2019 | Accepted December 11, 2019 | Summary The article provides characteristics of a new parasite, Crithidia dobrovolskii sp.n., which was isolated from the tachinid fly captured in the Leningrad Region of Russia. The presented description of Crithidia dobrovolskii sp.n. is based upon light microscopic, ultrastructural, and molecular phylogenetic data. Molecular phylogenetic analyses of SSU rRNA gene and GAPDH gene sequences have demonstrated that the new species is most closely related to Crithidia fasciculata.
Key words: Crithidia, Trypanosomatidae, phylogeny, SSU rRNA, GAPDH, ultrastructure
