Coelomomyces numularius sp. nov., a fungus parasitizing the larvae of Anopheles squamosus Theobald in southern Angola, Africa, is described and illustrated, with comments on its diagnosis and host specificity. Because of the general surface ornamentation of the resting sporangia, this new species is placed in group V of Bland and Couch. Resting sporangia can be distinguished from other species in group V by their dimensions, unique wall structure, placement of the dehiscence slit, and symmetrical shape.
