During entomopathogenic fungal surveys conducted in Thailand, 15 specimens tentatively classified under were identified. To gain a comprehensive understanding of their taxonomy, molecular phylogenies using combined LSU, , , and sequence data, together with morphological examination of several spp. from previous studies were conducted.

Metarhizium anisopliae (Clavicipitaceae, Hypocreales) is a globally distributed entomopathogenic fungus, which has been largely studied and used in agriculture for its potent entomopathogenicity. Since its taxonomic establishment as a member of Metarhizium, many closely related taxa have been described with highly similar morphology (cryptic species). A holotype specimen of M.

Four new species of the genus are described from Thailand. They were found as mycoparasites on: infecting flies () for ; ants () for ; and leafhoppers () for and . A new genus, with two species: (type species), parasitic on infecting cockroaches, and , found on a spider egg sac, are also described.

Karst caves are unique oligotrophic ecosystems characterised by the scarcity of organic litter, darkness, low to moderate temperatures, and high humidity, supporting diverse fungal communities. Despite their importance, little is known about the fungi in karst caves in Thailand. In 2019, we explored the culturable mycobiota associated with three selected types of substrates (air, soil/sediment and organic litter samples) from two karst caves, the Le Stegodon and Phu Pha Phet Caves, in the Satun UNESCO Global Geopark in southern Thailand.
