Entomophthoraceae is a family of fungi in the order Entomophthorales.[2][3] This has been supported by molecular phylogenetic analysis (Gryganskyi et al. 2012).[4] Most species in the family are obligately entomopathogenic. There are two subfamilies, Erynioideae and Entomophthoroideae, which were proposed in 2005.[5]
