Trichomycetes were recovered from the guts of aquatic insect larvae collected from a stream in the Qinling Mountains in western China. These collections included Smittium hecatei, known only from Spain, as well as Smittium simulii and Stachylina penetralis, which appear to be more widely distributed. Caudomyces japonicus, previously recorded only from Japan, also is reported from crane fly larvae (Antocha sp.) from China. We describe three new species, Smittium chinliense from a tipulid host, as well as Smittium naiadis and Smittium nodifixum, both from chironomid larvae. A probable new species of Gauthieromyces was collected in mayfly nymphs and is illustrated but not described here.
Key words: aquatic insects, Caudomyces, Gauthieromyces, gut fungi, Harpellales
