A new species of entomopathogenic fungi,Lecanicilliumcauligalbarum, was discovered from a survey of invertebrate-associated fungi in the Yao Ren National Forest Mountain Park in China. The synnemata of this species emerged from the corpse of a stemborer (Lepidoptera), which was hidden amongst pieces of wood on the forest floor. It differs from morphologically similarLecanicilliumspecies mainly in its short conidiogenous cells and ellipsoid to ovoid and aseptate conidia. Phylogenetic analysis of a combined data set comprising ITS,SSU,LSU,TEF,RPB1andRPB2sequence data supported the inclusion ofL.cauligalbarumin theLecanicilliumgenus and its recognition as a distinct species.
