Abstract
Flies parasitized by Laboulbeniales, captured in Selangor state, were examined and identified as Boettcherisca javanica, Boettcherisca sp ., and Hypopygiopsis violacea. The fungus was identified as Stigmatomyces aff. limnophorae based on
morphology and phylogenetic analysis of sequences of the partial nuclear small and large subunit ribosomal RNA genes. This fungus represents a new record for Malaysia; and these are the first reports of Boettcherisca and Hypopygiopsis as hosts for any laboulbenialean species.
