Crithidia mellificae n. sp. is described from the honey bee Apis mellifera in apiaries of Victoria, Australia. Organisms were isolated and cultured in a modified NNN medium with Cowperthwaite''s medium as an overlay. In contrast to other isolates of Crithidia, C. mellificae grows best at a pH between 4.5 and 5.5 with optimum near pH 5. In Cowperthwaite''s medium alone, buffered at pH 4.5-5.5, the organism will survive apparently indefinite passages. The organism has so far as known, no pathologic effects in the hymenopteran host.
