Abstract
Adhesive conidia of the nematophagous fungus, Drechmeria coniospora (Drechsler) W. Gams and Jansson (Moniliales: Deuteromycetes), would occasionally attach but never penetrate the infective stages of insect parasitic Neoaplectana carpocapsae, N. glaseri, N. bibionis, N. intermedia, and Heterorhabditis helfothidis (Rhabditida). However, adult and pre-infective stages of Neoaplectana spp. became infected by the fungus.
Keywords: Drechmeria coniospora, entomogenous nematodes, nematophagous fungus, Heterorhabditis heliothidis, Neoaplectana bibionis, N. carpocapsae, N. glaseri, N. intermedia, Rhabditis sp.
