Introduction

Extensive study ofmicrosporidia and microspo-ridioses in Russia was initiated by the senior author of this paper, Irma V. Issi, in late 1960-s. This time was marked by growing worldwide interest to microsporidia, particularly as potential candidates for biological control agents against

agricultural pests. In 1967 the International Society of Invertebrate Pathology (SIP) was established and its first official division was the Microsporidia one (Lange, Sokolova, 2017). In Former Soviet Union (FSU) parasites infecting agricultural pests, were in the focus as well, and investigating the opportunities of their application as biological pesticides and/ or regulators of population dynamics served the

rationale for the research on entomopathogenic fungi and microsporidia conducted in Leningrad All-Union-Institute for Plant Protection (VIZR). I.V. Issi initiated exploration of Microsporidia diversity on vast territories of the Former Soviet Union (FSU). Her graduate students and associates from different former Soviet Republics (now Independent States) of the FSU enthusiastically carried on this research. During the period from 1967 to 2000 highlighted in this paper, a plethora of new species and genera of microsporidia were described in the FSU, mostly in Russian language in local editions hardly available to international scholars. Since 2000, Russian microsporidiology has integrated into international science, and most descriptions published since then are easily accessible. This justifies the period chosen for the presented revision: the years 1967—2000.

A poor practice of description of new genera and species of microsporidia in hardly local editions, collective monographs and dissertations1, was common in the FSU partly due to political reasons, partly due to limited access to publication in foreign journals. Thus, many of those taxa have been remaining either unknown for the international research community, or the genera and species described by "Russians", and occasionally mentioned by them in literature, considered invalid, since the source of original descriptions could not be identified. With a few exceptions, the species described before 2000 in Russia and other FSU states, were not molecularly characterized. The phylogenetic SSU rDNA-based analyses that has become recently a mandatory part of a species description, was introduced later. This analysis indicated, first, a strong correlation of microsporidia divergence and speciation with host groups and habitat, and, second, a perception that inference of relationships basing on certain morphological and developmental characters was often misleading (Vossbrinck, Debruner-Vossbrinck 2005; Vossbrinck et al., 2014). From the height of our current knowledge, we know that the placement of some species mentioned in this review, into previously established genera basing exclusively on structural resemblance, was probably erroneous. The examples of such flaws would be likely attribution of the tabanid microsporidium to the genus Ameson representatives of which infect

exclusively marine decapods, the Cereal beetle microsporidium - to the genus Unikaryon described from cestods, and insect "pleistophoras" - to a fish genus Pleistophora. Publishing this list of species is not only informative; it also helps to identify potential erroneous attributions that have to be amended in future. We hope, publication of this list stimulates interest of young microsporidiologists working on the territory of the FSU, to the species described by their predecessors. Validation of these taxa described basing on morphological characters, by molecular tools is badly warranted and will certainly contribute to creation of a better system of the phylum Microsporidia, the ultimate goal of taxonomy.

Beneath we provide a list of valid species and genera with references to original descriptions and, when possible, also to the subsequent publications refining characterization of the described taxa. Overall, the list contains 118 species. These species are distributed among 46 genera, 20 of which were new for science at the time of description, and parasitize about 100 host species (see Addendum: Distribution of microsporidia species among the hosts). For all genera, the type species and type host are mentioned in square brackets as they are provided in the latest "Checklist of Available Generic Names for Microsporidia" (Becnel et al., 2014). For the genera described in FSU in 1967—2000, in addition, the reference to the relevant publication is provided. Each species name is accompanied by the reference to the relevant publication, and when possible to the figures displaying images of the described species. For most species, the following information is provided in brief: whether the species was studied by light (LM), electron (EM) microscopy, or characterized by molecular phylogeny (Mph); key characters of developmental stages and spores; type host and tissue tropism, and locality. We omit this information for a few species that were re-described in worldwide renowned editions; in this case, the references are provided.
