Article Synopsis
  • Two new species of myxosporeans (Sphaeromyxa horrida n. sp. and Myxidium lapipiscis n. sp.) have been discovered in the gallbladders of estuarine and reef stonefish in Queensland, Australia.
  • S. horrida n. sp. is identified by specific morphometric features and a distinct genetic sequence, indicating it is well-established along the east coast of Australia.
  • M. lapipiscis n. sp. is characterized by its smaller spore size and unique genetic profile, also demonstrating a wide distribution in the same regions, though genetic data for tropical specimens is lacking.
