Abstract

Simplicillium species are widely distributed and commonly found on various substrates or as a fungicolous fungi. In this research, three arthropod-associated specimens were collected. Two new species, Simplicillium neocoleopterorum and S. vallense, and a new record of S. formicae in China, were isolated, established and described according to a multilocus phylogenetic analysis and their morphological characteristics.
