    Notes: Summary A gregarine parasite (Neogregarinida, Ophryocystidae) ofLeptothorax ants was found near West-Yellowstone, Montana, USA. Infested pupae are characterized by grey to black coloration, irregular pigmentation of compound eyes, and toothless mandibles. The pathogenic effects closely resemble those in the fire ant,Solenopsis geminata, when infested byMattesia geminata. Infested pupae die. The infection can be transmitted to healthy colonies and to differentLeptothorax species by feeding them with infested pupae.
