Ancylistaceae Completoriaceae Entomophthoraceae Meristacraceae Neozygitaceae The Entomophthorales are an order of fungi that were previously classified in the class Zygomycetes.

A few attack nematodes, mites, and tardigrades, and some (particularly species of the genus Conidiobolus) are free-living saprotrophs.

[2] Most species of the entomophthorales produce ballistic asexual spores that are forcibly discharged.

Debates have centred on whether the Basidiobolaceae should be included in the entomophthorales, or raised to ordinal status.

Some analyses suggest the Basidiobolaceae are more closely related to certain chytrid fungi than to the entomophthorales.
