Since 1913, <i>C. luteorostrata</i> has been reported from various plant feeding Hemiptera in the southeastern United States, but comprehensive morphological and phylogenetic studies of U.S. populations are lacking. The recovery of multiple strains of <i>C. luteorostrata</i> from mycosed EHS in North Carolina provided an opportunity to conduct pathogenicity assays and morphological and phylogenetic studies to investigate genus- and species-level boundaries among the Clavicipitaceae. Pathogenicity assays confirmed that <i>C. luteorostrata</i> causes mortality of EHS crawlers, an essential first step in developing this fungus as a biocontrol. Morphological studies revealed that conidia aligned with previous measurements of the <i>Paecilomyces</i>-like asexual state of <i>C. luteorostrata</i>, with conidiophore morphology consistent with historical observations. Additionally, a <i>Hirsutella</i>-like synanamorph was observed in select <i>C. luteorostrata</i> strains.
