New records of entomophthoran fungi from insects in Australia
Australian Journal of Botany 35 (1), 69-77
Abstract: Five species of entomophthoran fungi (Zygomycetes: Entomophthoraceae) are described from Australian insect populations for the first time. Two species, Entomophthora muscae and Erynia bullata, were found attacking Diptera; one species, Neozygites parvispora, was found attacking thrips; and two others, Entomophaga aulicae and Erynia gammae (recombined from Tarichium) were found on Lepidoptera.
