A new species of the genus Absidia v. Tiegh., A. macrospora sp. nov., isolated from soil samples is described. It belongs to the group of species of the genus Absidia with globose sporangiospores. It is closely related to the species A. glauca Hagem and A. coerulea Bain., but can easily be distinguished by the size of the sporangiospores and by the shape of the columellae. A key to the species of the genus Absidia with globose sporangiospores is appended.
