In order to confirm the taxonomic status of a Metarhiziumthat isolated from the cadaver of white grub.Amplification,sequencing,and system evolution tree construction of thenuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer(rDNA-ITS),β-tubulin and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit(RPB2)geneof the fungusMa1518 were carried out.The result showed that the entomopathogenic fungus was identified as Metarhizium pinghaense.
