| Abstract | Two isolates of Lecanicillium uredinophilum were obtained from an infected insect collected in Yunnan Province, China. L. uredinophilum was initially discovered on a rust fungus in Korea. The identity was supported by combined analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS1, 5.8s and ITS2), large subunit (LSU) and small subunit (SSU) of the ribosomal RNA gene and protein loci of elongation factor-1 alpha (tef1-α), RNA polymerase II largest subunits (RPB1 and RPB2). This is the first report of L. uredinophilum in China and from an insect host. This species and perhaps other Lecanicillium species are likely to infect various hosts with chitinous bodies. A description of L. uredinophilum from China is accompanied by illustrations of macroand micromorphological characters, and a discussion of related taxa is provided. |
