Hesperomyces

Hesperomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Laboulbeniaceae. The genus contains ten species,[1] including the type species, Hesperomyces virescens. Hesperomyces virescens is a complex of species,[2] . It is a parasite of an invasive species to Europe and the Americas,[3] the harlequin ladybird (Harmonia axyridis).[4] Laboratory bioassays pointed out that Hesperomyces-infected ladybirds suffered increased mortality rates.[5]
