Diplocystis

Diplocystid aseptorine gregarines, gametocysts in haemocoel; oocysts ellipsoidal, open in host midgut; sporozoites pass between columnar cells of epithelium where they develop under the intestinal serosa and then enter the hemocoel; infection by cannibalism at least in cockroaches; type species: D. schneideri.

Diplocystis is a genus of fungi in the Diplocystaceae family. The single species in the genus, Diplocystis wrightii, has been shown using phylogenetic analysis to be a member of the Sclerodermatineae suborder of the Boletales. The species was originally described in 1869 by Miles Joseph Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis, from specimens collected in the Caribbean.
