Abstract
A microsporidian parasite of the jack-pine budworm is described and found to be very similar to Perezia fumiferanae Thom., which attacks the spruce budworm. The differences between the two species of Microsporidia are not considered great enough to justify the creation of a new species at the present time; however, with the continued isolation of the host species, the differences may become greater.Keywords
