Abstract
A new species,Zoophthora orientalis, belonging to the genusZoophthora, subgenusZoophthora, is described and compared with the nine other described species of this subgenus. A new classification system of the family Entomophthoraceae, based largely on Batko’s system, is briefly introduced and discussed. The genusErynia, recently segregated fromZoophthora by Remaudière et al., is not accepted as a genus, and two new species described under the namesErynia neoaphidis andErynia nouryi are transferred toZoophthora as the new combinationsZoophthora neoaphidis andZoophthora nouryi.
