[1] The genus name of Pandora is derived from the Latin word pando which means “to become curved” or “to sag” and the generic suffix “ra” thus describing conidia, which are often with weakly outlined bilateral symmetry.

It is a widespread species that is often found to be the most common fungal insect pathogen on the local aphid community (e.g. in surveys from Argentina,[6] Slovakia,[7] and China.[8]).

Including usage on the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Homoptera: Aphididae) which predates on spinach (Spinacea oleracea L.) in Arkansas, America.

From places such as France (Rabasse et al. 1983), Mexico (Remaudiere and Hennebert, 1980), Portugal and Spain (Humber, 1986) and also Japan (Kobayashi et al.,1984).

(ARSEF13372) is a recently isolated fungus species with high potential for usage in psyllid pest control.
