Abstract A list of entomopathogens from two Chihuahuan desertlocalities in México is given. Rhabditid nematodes, nuclear polyhedrosis viruses, a rickettsia(Rickettsiella popilliae), the fungi Beauveria bassiana,Entomophaga calopteni (= Entomophaga gryllipathotype 2),Entomophthora muscae, Entomophthora planchoniana,Furia vomitoriae, Nomuraea rileyi, Metarhiziumanisopliae var. anisopliae, Pandora gammae, Pandoraneoaphidis and Zoophthora radicans, and the microsporidian Nosema weiseri were all collected from the campus of the UniversidadAutónoma Agraria Antonio Narro, near the city of Saltillo, state of Coahuila, México. Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae and Paecilomyces fumosoroseus were collected in the urban area of Saltillo. B.bassiana, Fusarium sp. (very similar toFusarium coccophilum),M. anisopliae and Paecilomyces farinosuswere collected in an appleorchard 50 km east of Saltillo. The nematodes, B.bassiana, E. calopteni, M. anisopliae, P.gammae, P. neoaphidis, and Z. radicans caused mortality levels of 〉10% in their respective hosts in the field.
