Herpomyces is a fungal genus in the order Herpomycetales (Laboulbeniomycetes), with species that are exclusively ectoparasites of members of the Blattodea order (cockroaches).^[1]^[2] As of 2020, 27 species of Herpomyces are formally described.^[3] Members of Herpomyces have been reported from all continents except Antarctica.^[4]
