38th Annual Meeting of the Society for Invertebrate Pathology

225 species of arthropod-pathogenic Entomophthorales are described. They are attributed to four families, however, the large majority belongs to the families Entomophthoraceae (196 species including 38 species of Tarichium) and Neozygitaceae (18 species). Morphological studies and a compilation of the literature data led to the description of three subfamilies of the Entomophthoraceae and to the description of a new genus in the family Neozygitaceae. Further, “weak” points in the systematics were localised and research gaps addressed.
