Order: Entomophthorales G. Winter, Rabenh. Krypt.-Fl. 1(1): 74 (1880).<br />

Exemplar genera: Entomophthora Fresen. 1856, Ballocephala Drechsler 1951,<br />

Conidiobolus Bref. 1884, Entomophaga Batko 1964, Neozygites Witlaczil 1885.<br />

Subphylum: Zoopagomycotina Benny, subphylum nov.<br />

MycoBank no.: MB 501283<br />

Fungi endo- vel ectoparasitici microanimalium vel fungorum. Corpus vegetativum ex thallo simplici<br />

ramoso vel nonramoso vel mycelio nonseptato plus minusve extense ramoso constans. Ectoparasitae<br />

haustoria intra hospitem <strong>for</strong>mantes. Reproductio asexualis arthrosporis, chlamydosporis vel sporangiolis<br />

uni- vel multisporis perfecta; sporangiosporae sporangiolorum multispororum in catenenis<br />

(merosporangiis) simplicibus vel ramosis dispositae. Reproductio sexualis zygosporis paene globosis<br />

perfacitur; hyphae sexuales hyphis vegetativis similes vel plus minusve ampliatae.<br />

Typus: Zoopage Drechsler 1935.<br />

Endo- or ectoparasites of microanimals and fungi. Vegetative body consisting of a<br />

simple, branched or unbranched thallus or more of less extensively branched mycelium.<br />

Ectoparasites <strong>for</strong>ming haustoria inside the host. Asexual reproduction by arthrospores,<br />

chlamydospores or uni- or multispored sporangiola; sporangiospores of multispored<br />

sporangiola <strong>for</strong>med in simple or branched chains (merosporangia). Sexual reproduction<br />

by nearly globose zygospores; sexual hyphae similar to the vegetative hyphae or more<br />

or less enlarged.<br />

The description of this group is based mostly on the validating description <strong>for</strong><br />

the Zoopagales by Benjamin (1979), except that arthrospores have been added, based on<br />

Barron’s (1975) report of arthrospores in Helicocephalum Thaxt. 1891.<br />
