Hesperomyces virescens  is a fungal ectoparasite (Laboulbeniales) that infects adult ladybirds. Research has recently focused on this parasite due to the discovery of its prevalence on the globally invasive harlequin ladybird  Harmonia axyridis  and for its potential use in studies of co-evolution and pathogen spread. We collected adults from ten species of ladybirds in the Western Cape Province, South Africa, and screened for the presence of  H. virescens . Infections with  H. virescens  were found in the samples of two species,  H. axyridis  and the native  Cheilomenes propinqua . This marks the first record of  H. virescens  on  H. axyridis  from the African continent and the first record on  Cheilomenes  worldwide.
