Abstract: During an outbreak of Euproctis chrysorrhoea in orchards near Kosovo, Yugoslavia, several parasites (Larvaevoridae and Ichneumonidae especially Apanteles), predators (Coleoptera of the genera Cantharis and Malachius) as well as a protozoic disease were observed attacking the pest. The disease agent was recognized to be a new species: Nosema kovacevici sp. n. (Microsporidia). The cycle of development of the new species is described. Opposite to related species the spores of N. kovacevici show a great variety in length.
