dc.description.abstract	The genus Aschersonia is characterized by globose pycnidia formed in hemispherical or cushion shaped stroma, slender branched conidiophores, hyaline, mostiy fusoid, smooth, one-celled conidia and parasitic on homopteran insects. Survey, isolation and documentation of entomogenous fungi on insects, spiders and mites were carried out in the hinterland forests of Western Ghats in Goa State during the year 1999-2001. This paper provides taxonomic description and illustrations of three entomogenous fungi, viz., Aschersonia aleyroides, A. badia and A. brumea, isolated from Homopteran insect hosts, for the first time from India.
