Hesperomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Laboulbeniaceae. The genus contains ten species,[1] including the type species Hesperomyces virescens. Hesperomyces virescens is a complex of species,[2] and a parasite of an invasive alien species, the harlequin ladybird (Harmonia axyridis).[3] Laboratory bioassays pointed out that Hesperomyces-infected ladybirds suffered increased mortality rates.[4]
