N2 - Adults of Cantharis livlda (Coleoptera: Cantharidae) and of Torymus druparum (Hymenoptera: Torymidae) were found naturally infected by fungi from the Entomophthorales in Denmark. The morphology of the primary spores of the two fungi clearly showed that they belong to the genus Entomophthora s.str. No species from this genus has been reported so far from these insect orders. With respect to spore size and number of nuclei per spore, the fungi fall within the range of species from the E. muscae complex, known only from Diptera. A transfer of the fungus from T. druparum to Psila rosae (Diptera: Psilidae) was however possible. The findings thus confirm a significant widening of the host range of species within the E. muscae complex.
