Popis: Metarhizium anisopliae is a complex of cryptic species with wide geographical distribution and versatile lifestyles. In this study, 45 isolates of the Metarhizium genus harbored in the “Coleccion de Hongos Entomopatogenos” of the “Centro Nacional de Referencia de Control Biologico” from different substrates, insect-host, and localities from Colima, Mexico, were phylogenetically identified using the 5′end of translation elongation factor 1-α (5′TEF) and intergenic nuclear region MzFG543igs. Seven species were recognized, M. acridum (n = 26), M. pemphigi (n = 1), and within the PARB and MGT clades: M. anisopliae (N = 7; sensu stricto: n = 2; sensu lato: n = 5), M. brunneum (n = 2), M. guizhouense (n = 2), M. pingshaense (n = 2), and M. robertsii (n = 5). Twenty-nine SSR markers were developed for M. acridum; according to the analysis of 12 polymorphic SSR loci, M. acridum showed low genetic diversity, revealing five genotypes with a dominant one (n = 21). Based on the analysis of 13 specific SSR loci, 14 genotypes were identified within the PARB and MGT clades. This study contributes to generating valuable information about the community structure and genotypic diversity of Metharhizum species in the state of Colima, Mexico.
