The genus    Samsoniella    was erected based on orange cylindrical to clavate stromata, superficial perithecia and conidiophores with    Isaria   -like phialides and to segregate them from the    Akanthomyces    group. In this study, based on morphological features and multigene ( SSU ,  LSU ,   TEF  ,  RPB1  and  RPB2 ) phylogenetic analysis six    Samsoniella    species parasitizing spiders were collected in China. Three of them belong to known species    S.   alpina   ,    S.   erucae    and    S.   hepiali   . Three new species    S.   anhuiensis    sp. nov. ,    S.   aranea    sp. nov.  and    S.   fusiformispora    sp. nov.  are illustrated and described. They are clearly distinct from other species in    Samsoniella    occurring in independent subclades. Furthermore, among the four insect-pathogenic fungi specimens collected from similar sites, three of them were identified as the new species described below. Our study significantly broadens the host range of    Samsoniella    from   Insecta   to   Arachnida  , marking a noteworthy expansion in understanding the ecological associations of these fungi. Additionally, the identification of both mononematous and synnematous conidiophores in our study not only expands the knowledge of    Samsoniella    species but also provides a basis for future research by comparing the ecological significance between these conidiophore types. In conclusion, our study enhances the understanding of    Samsoniella    diversity, presenting a refined phylogenetic framework and shedding light on the ecological roles of these fungi in spider parasitism.
