Akanthomyces is a genus of invertebrate-pathogenic fungi from the family Cordycipitaceae (Ascomycota, Hypocreales). Its species occurs on two different types of hosts, spiders and insects, and in the latter case specifically Lepidoptera adults. Three new species of Akanthomyces, A. noctuidarum, A. pyralidarum, and A. tortricidarum occurring on adult moths from Thailand are proposed based on the differences of their morphological characteristics and molecular data. Phylogenetic analyses using a combined dataset, including the internal transcribed spacer regions, the large subunit of the ribosomal DNA, translation elongation factor 1-α, the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, and the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, support the delimitation of these new species in Akanthomyces.

Akanthomyces多样性在飞蛾（鳞翅类）的在泰国。

Akanthomyces是来自冬虫夏草科（Ascomycota，Hypocreales）的无脊椎动物致病真菌。它的物种出现在两种不同类型的宿主上，蜘蛛和昆虫，在后一种情况下特别是鳞翅目成虫。根据它们的形态特征和分子数据的差异，提出了在泰国成年蛾上出现的三个新物种的Akanthomyces，A。noctuidarum，A。pyralidarum和A. tortricidarum。系统发育分析使用组合数据集，包括内部转录的间隔区，核糖体DNA的大亚基，翻译延伸因子1-α，RNA聚合酶II的最大亚基和RNA聚合酶II的第二大亚基，支持定界假单胞菌属中的这些新物种。
