Importance and distribution
Natipusilla comprises four species. Natipusilla bellaspora is known on decorticated wood submerged in stream in South America (Peru), N. decorospora and N. naponensis were found on dead corticated woody debris submerged in freshwater swamp in South America (Ecuador), N. limonensis is known on dead, decorticated woody debris submerged in stream in Central America (Costa Rica).
