The life cycle of this parasite occurs within the fat body of the host.
Once ingested the sporozoites invade the wall of the gut en route to the fat body.
After invasion the sporozoites enlarge into rounded micronuclear meronts (nuclear diameter = 1 micron).
This first round of merogony produces merozoites with small nuclei which their turn become meronts.
This species infects the scorpion fly (Panorpa communis).
