Morphological and phylogenetic characterisations reveal three new species of (Cordycipitaceae, Hypocreales) from Guizhou, China.

species have been found on lepidopteran larvae or pupae buried in soil or leaf litter. Three new species, , and , parasitic on hymenopteran larvae, coleopteran larvae and lepidopteran pupae, respectively, are reported. Morphological comparisons with extant species and DNA-based phylogenies from analysis of a multigene (ITS, , and ) dataset supported the establishment of the new species. Unusually, all three new species have mononematous conidiophores. The new species are clearly distinct from other species in occurring in separate subclades.
