In this study we evaluate phylogenetic relationships within the M. anisopliae complex, identify monophyletic lineages and clarify the species taxonomy. To this end, we have employed a multigene phylogenetic approach utilizing near-complete sequences from nuclear encoded EF-1?, RPB1, RPB2, and ?-tubulin gene regions and evaluated the morphology of these taxa, including ex-types whenever possible. The phylogenetic evidence supports the monophyly of these varieties. We propose that they be elevated to species level as: M. acridum stat. nov., M. lepidiotae stat. nov., and M. majus stat. nov. In addition, we resurrect the name M. brunneum as a sister group to M. anisopliae and show that M. taii is a later synonym of M. guizhouense.} }
