Beauveria  is a very important fungal resource. Some  Beauveria  species have great economic and ecological value. Through surveying  Beauveria  in China and Thailand over the past 4 years, 15  Beauveria  spp. were collected and identified. Three new species—namely,  B. polyrhachicola ,  B. songmingensis , and  B. subscarabaeidicola —were described and illustrated based on morphological characteristics and molecular data. The phylogenetic positions of the 15 species were evaluated according to phylogenetic inferences based on six loci (nr SSU , nr LSU ,  TEF ,  RPB1 ,  RPB2 , and  Bloc ). Nine species of  Beauveria  in our study were isolated from adult scarab beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). The pathogenicity of the isolates from the  B. bassiana  complex and  B. scarabaeidicola  complex was determined with three bioassays using  B. mori  and  T. molitor  larvae, in addition to  Protaetia brevitarsis  adults. The results indicated that the  B. bassiana  complex isolates had great potential in the biocontrol of the three insects; by contrast, the  B. scarabaeidicola  complex isolates showed obvious host specificity and low virulence.
