Zusammenfassung:We report the natural occurrence of M. rileyi in larval A. gemmatalis and T. ni in soybean producing regions of Altamira, Tamaulipas, and Pánuco, Veracruz, Mexico, during Aug through Dec 2017. A total of 380 M. rileyi-infected A. gemmatalis larvae were collected from Altamira and Pánuco. In each municipality, only 1 larval T. ni was found infected with the fungus. In Oct, the greatest number of A. gemmatalis larvae infected by M. rileyi was recorded from both municipalities.
