Rickia Circumdata
''Rickia'' is a genus of fungi in the family Laboulbeniaceae. The genus contain 132 species. The genus name of ''Rickia'' is in honour of Johann Rick (known in Portuguese as João Evangelista Rick) (1869–1946), who was an Austrian-Brazilian teacher, clergyman and Botanist (Mycology). He taught Mathematics and Natural history between 1903-1915 at the Jesuit School in São Leopoldo, in Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. The genus was circumscribed by Fridiano Cavara in Malpighia vol.13 on page 182 in 1899.

Rickia Wasmannii
''Rickia wasmannii'' is a species of the widely distributed entomoparasitic order of fungi Laboulbeniales. It is an obligatory ectoparasite of ants of the genus Myrmica. The thalli penetrate outer layer of the cuticle, and appear on the host body surface. Little is known about its effect on the host ant, but it is usually regarded as a rather neutral symbiont. Contrarily, however, a recent study has documented an increased need of drinking water and a shortened life-span of infected ants. The known host species of ''Rickia wasmannii'' are various ''Myrmica'' species, the most frequent being ''Myrmica scabrinodis''. The fungus was reported from many European countries such as Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. In 2016, Pfiegler et al. showed that inquiline mites can become infected by ''R. wasmannii'', which was thought to be restricted to the genus ''Myrmica'' (Hymen ...
