As a taxonomic precaution, the identity of this Cordyceps sp. (Fig. 1) is still left open to doubt, since limacodid hosts are variously deposited in both Herb. IMI and Herb. K under the names C. coccinea Penz. Sacc., C. militaris (Fr.) Link, C. pruinosa Petch, and C. typhulaeformis (Petch, 1942 Evans, 1987). Clearly, there is a need for a taxonomic reevaluation of the pathogens associated with limacodid hosts and of the actual role that they play in pest population dynamics, as well as of their potential value as biological control agents of these pest species in Asia.
