“…The previous reports and articles on the subject recorded for Argentina were focused on taxonomy, biodiversity, epizootiology and some laboratory evaluations of biological activity of species Batkoa sp., Conidiobolus coronatus (Costantin) A. Batko Entomophthoralean fungi infecting insects have been studied and reported from all over the world (Eilenberg et al 1987, Keller 1987, Feng et al 1990, Eilenberg et al 1992, Bałazy 1993, Santamaría and Girbal 1996, Hatting et al 1999, Nielsen et al 2001, Pell et al 2001, Steinkraus and Boys 2005, Jensen et al 2009, Hajek et al 2012, Humber 2012, while this fungal group was poorly studied in South America (Aruta et al 1974, 1984, Delalibera et al 1992, Alzugaray et al 1999. The first Argentinean reference was published by Fresa (1979) but in the last decade, the number of publications about this fungal group has increased (Méndez-Sánchez et al 2001, 2002a, b, 2009, Delalibera et al 2004, Toledo et al 2007, 2008a, b, Jensen et al 2009, Alzugaray et al 2010, Scorsetti et al 2010, 2012, Sosa Gómez et al 2010, Manfrino et al 2013, 2014a, b, c, Montalva et al 2016a.…”
