The Genus Entomophthora in the Western Hemisphere

Abstract

The genus Entomophthora which belongs to the order Entomophthorales (Phycomycetes) is thought to play an important part in the natural control of many undesirable insects. Consequently, this group is of interest to both botanists and entomologists. For this reason the writer has attempted to bring together some of the existing information concerning the genus in the form of distribution maps, keys, and a host list.
