Metacordyceps is a genus of fungi in the family Clavicipitaceae.[1] The anamorphs of Metacordyceps appear to include Metarhizium species.[2]
Metacordyceps species attack insects in the orders Coleoptera and Lepidoptera, hosts that are common throughout all Cordyceps-like fungi.
Species
[edit | edit source]Genus proposed in 2012:[3]
- M. chlamydosporia
- M. dhauladharensis
- M. liangshanensis – Proposals for transferring to Metacordyceps and Papiliomyces relied on improperly authenticated material. True type material belongs in Ophiocordyceps.[4]
- M. taii
