Lecanicillium psalliotae and C. coronatus are known as general pathogens of various soil insects. This is the first record of these species in association with proturans.

On the other hand, so far their anamorphs (lsaria Fr., Lecaniciltium Gams & Zare, there has been no report on fungi parasitic to proturans, Simpiicillium Gams & Zare, and Beauveria Vuj]1,, for Protura is the most ancestral group of insects (Kinzelbach, exarnples) are parasites of insects and spiders, and they have 1971; Machida, in press), and proturans are obligate soil been regarded as representatives of entomopathogenic fUngi. dwellers (Tuxen, 1964). It used to be diMcult to maintain them Coftlycqps species show high host specificity fbr pterygote in the laboratory for long periods owing to their minute size and orders (Aoki, 2003). They are considered to have co-cvolved lifestyle (Machida and Takahashi, 2004). Recently, Machida with host pterygotes with host shifting and jumping (Nikoh and Takahashi (2004) established a method for keeping a and Fukatsu, 2000). To comprehend the co-evolution between proturan, Baculentttlus denstts lmadate (Acerentemidae), tmder host insects and thcir parasitic fungi, however, information on semi-natural conditions in the laboratory. For the discovery the fungal parasites ofancestral insects is necessary, of ancestral entomopathogenic fungi, investigations of the -as Entomopathogenic fungj of ancestral insects and other pathogens of proturans the most ancestral insect- are soil arthropods have not been well investigated (Kcller required. Thus, we report entomopathogenic fungi isolated from and Zimmermann, 1989) except fbr those of mites and B, clensus kept in the laboratory, collembolans (Keller and Zimmermann, 1989; Bridge et To obtain proturans and other soil arthropods, litter and al., 2005, for cxarnples).
