Review of Entomophthorales (Zygomycota: Entomophthorales) fungal pahtogens of insects from Argentina . Entomophthoralean fungi are entomopathogens that cuase death of their hosts . They usually are very specific and however some of them are abl eto be in vitro cultivated . Some species are hardly possible or not able to be isolated in axenic cultures . The Entomophthorales are the most predominant insect pahtogenic fungi which are poorly known in South America and they are scarce reported in Argentina. Teh overall purpouse of the present peaper is to update the knowledge of the reports and research done about this fungal group and to include a checklist of fungal species , distribution and insect hosts to further extent about its biodiversity.
