Three strains of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana Vuill. were tested for pathogenicity against adults of Metamasius (= Cactophagus) spinolae Gyllenhal. M. spinolae is an important pest of cactus plants ( Opuntia ficus indica ), which are used as a food crop and to avoid erosion in Mexico. After inoculation in a spray tower, M. spinolae adults were susceptible to B. bassiana at concentrations of 1 × 10 8 conidia per milliliter. Female mortality was steadily higher than male mortality for all isolates. One of the three isolates caused sig- nificantly higher mortality (82%) in females, whereas male mortality was the same for all isolates. These results indicate for the first time the possible use of B. bassiana as biocontrol agent against this insect pest.
