摘　　要：Dear Editor,Insect-fungal symbioses are fruitful testing grounds for examining coevolutionary theories,from host specificity(Stranda&Obrycki,1996;Rohrlich et al.,2018),arms-race scenarios(Pedrini et al.,2015;Stock et al.,2023),mutualisms(Aanen et al.,2002;Biedermann&Vega,2020)to biogeography(Zhang et al.,2014;Mueller et al.,2017).These investigations fundamentally depend on clarifying the systematics of both insect hosts and their fungal parasites,but the identities of many fungiparasitized insects are not well understood.This is because DNA from"zombie insect"tissues are invariably fragmented,and often overwhelmed by fungal mycelium(Fig.1,reviewed in Shang et al.,2015;Wang,&Wang,2017;Araujo&Hughes,2019).
