Isaria
''Isaria'' is a genus of fungi mostly in the order Hypocreales and family Clavicipitaceae, or by some authorities the Cordycipitaceae. It includes a large number of entomopathogenic species, some of them exploited as biopesticides (''e.g. I. ...

Cordycipitaceae
The Cordycipitaceae are a family of parasitic fungi in the Ascomycota, class Sordariomycetes and order Hypocreales. The family was first published in 1969 by mycologist Hanns Kreisel, but the naming was invalid according to the code of Internatio ...

In 1974, R.A. Samson transferred the
nematicidal species ''Paecilomyces lilacinus'' to this genus.
However, publications in the 2000s (decade) indicated that the genus ''Paecilomyces'' was not
monophyletic,
and the new genus ''
Purpureocillium
''Purpureocillium'' is a fungal genus in the Ophiocordycipitaceae family. The genus now contains at least 5 species with the type species ''Purpureocillium lilacinum'', a common saprobic, filamentous fungus. It has been isolated from a wide range ...
