Entomophthoraceae is a family of fungi in the order Entomophthorales.{{cite journal |first1=Carolyn |last1=Elya |first2=Henrik H. |last2=De Fine Licht |title=The genus Entomophthora: bringing the insect destroyers into the twenty-first century & |journal=IMA Fungus |date=12 November 2021 |volume=12 |issue=34|page=34 |doi=10.1186/s43008-021-00084-w |pmid=34763728 |pmc=8588673 |doi-access=free }} This has been supported by molecular phylogenetic analysis (Gryganskyi et al. 2012).Gryganskyi AP, Humber RA, Smith ME et al (2012) Molecular phylogeny of the Entomophthoromycota. Mol Phylogenet Evol 65:682–694. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ympev.2012.07.026 Most species in the family are obligately entomopathogenic. There are two subfamilies, Erynioideae and Entomophthoroideae, which were proposed in 2005.
