Hosts.
Elateridae
(e.g.
Agriotes
) larvae (
Kobayasi and Shimizu 1980a
,
Shimizu 1997
).

China (Guizhou, Jilin), Japan (
Kobayasi and Shimizu 1980a
,

Notes.
The specific epithet of this species was adopted from the generic name of its host insect '
Agriotes
' (
Kobayasi and Shimizu 1980a
). The epithet
'agriotidis'
, used in
Index Fungorum (2021)
and related literature (e.g.
Sung et al. 2007
), is incorrect.
Yang (2004)
and
Liang (2007)
also recorded its hosts as
Elateridae
larvae.
